@root.visual50: a locked iPhone. screen never lit up. no Face ID. no PIN. and money was taken from it in a lab demonstration. researchers from the University of Surrey and University of Birmingham discovered this vulnerability in 2021 and demonstrated it publicly. it works by exploiting Apple's Express Transit feature — the NFC mode that lets you pay for public transit without unlocking your phone. attackers use specialized equipment to fake a transit gate signal, then modify the transaction to appear as a "low-value" fare. result: your Visa card charges any amount — no unlock required. this only works with iPhone + Visa card + Express Transit enabled. Mastercard and Samsung Pay are not affected. fix: Apple Wallet → tap your Visa card → Express Transit → set to None. 30 seconds. done. save this. check your Apple Wallet right now. #applepay #mobilesecurity #cybersecurity #rootvisual
