Hacker succeeds in hacking Samsung Pay

Samsung Pay Mini

Samsung Pay has been in Spain for a few months, Samsung's famous mobile payment. It has also been launched in other countries of the world. Which makes Samsung Pay an increasingly popular payment system. This may not be the case for a long time as it seems that the famous payment system has vulnerabilities and security holes that allow the theft of digital cards.

A hacker called Salvador Mendoza placeholder image has presented its findings on the subject at a conference taking place in Las Vegas this week. Mendoza states that the token process, that is, pass the numbers of the cards and transactions, it is easy to copy or predict, which makes a hacker can get hold of the data and copy it to use them in another system and thus supplant the card with the possible expenses that can be made through it.

Salvador Mendoza has not only accompanied reports to his words but has also recorded a video where he performs the operation, an operation that takes place in Mexico where Samsung Pay is not yet enabled, but it seems that hackers can also bypass that restriction. Thus, there is no doubt that the famous Samsung payment system is vulnerable and any user with certain knowledge of computer security will be able to get the keys of our credit cards.

Samsung Pay seems not to be as secure as Samsung claims

Today, Samsung has yet to comment on the issue, although he already said that in these cases they would act quickly so that Samsung Pay and its users would not have problems. In any case, the money limit is always the best option that exists with respect to cards, both electronic and digital, especially to take care of our money.
