Cyber-criminals and fraudsters have started targeting employees working on Point-of-Sales terminals in order to get their hands on card details.
There is now evidence that social engineering and spear phishing emails are actively being used and have become the next attack method against employees who have access to payment applications, virtual terminals and electronic cash registries.
The new malware is named NitlovePOS [Virus Total Detection Rate] and it targets track one and track two data by scanning the processes running. In other words, it is yet another memory-scraping malware that sends the captured data to a remote server over SSL.
