Comment on Apple Pay will support NFC tagsparent

Comments

Apple Pay is not giving away any shared secrets over the air that are useful to steal.

I think the attack would be to place a sticker that causes unsuspecting users to pay you instead of the intended merchant.

Which doesn’t work because you’ll have to pass Apple KYC’s process, and it doesn’t scale since the NFC payment is much more limited than your credit card limit.
