Hello android users it’s a news for you because it will be shocking for android 4.0.4 users, security researchers in the contest Pwn2Own at Amsterdam demonstrated a way to hack Samsung galaxy S3 by the NFC actually this is very harmful attack because it allow access to whole phone to attacker
First of all you have to know about that what is NFS?
NFC, short for Near Field Communication, is a short range wireless RFID technology that makes use of interacting electromagnetic radio fields instead of the typical direct radio transmissions used by technologies such as Bluetooth. It is meant for applications where a physical touch, or close to it, is required in order to maintain security. NFC is planned for use in mobile phones for, among other things, payment, in conjunction with an electronic wallet, and for setting up connections between Bluetooth devices (rendering the current manual Bluetooth pairing process obsolete). The technology is promoted by the NFC-Forum.
Through NFC it was possible to upload a malicious file to the device, which allowed us to gain code execution on the device and subsequently get full control over the device using a second vulnerability for privilege escalation,” MWR InfoSecurity said in a statement. “The same vulnerability could also be exploited through other attack vectors, such as malicious websites or e-mail attachments.”
Here is a brief description that what attacker can control on your phone by this attack.
  • Gain access to all SMS messages
  • Access pictures,
  • Access emails,
  • Access contact information and much more
Researchers are also saying that payload is very advanced so Attacker can do anything on your phone.
