[wraggster]

An Android application capable of siphoning credit card data from contactless bank cards (http://www.scmagazine.com.au/News/305881,android-app-steals-contactless-credit-card-data.aspx) has appeared on the Google Play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.skora.eccardinfos). The app was developed by a security penetration tester for research purposes and will steal card numbers and expiry dates, along with transactions and merchant IDs. It requires a near field device capable phone (http://www.nfcworld.com/nfc-phones-list/), or accessory.
