NFC tappay gets tapped by hackers
AI was likely used: ESET researchers also spotted something unusual in the malware’s internals. Some traces suggested generative AI may have played a role in its development.Specifically, the injected malicious code contains emoji markers in debug logs, something more commonly associated with AI-generated output than human-written malware. The researchers noted that this isn’t definitive proof…
