Apple Pay and the Internet of Things to be prime hacking targets in 2015
Kaspersky has used its annual gaze into the crystal ball of cybercrime to predict attacks on digital wallet and virtual payment schemes, citing Apple Pay as a potential target.
The malware-mashing security company has suggested that ATMs and payment systems will be likely targets for hackers in the coming 12 months, naming the recently launched Cupertino Bucks service as a probable victim.
Apple Pay launched in the US in October and has had its fair share of headlines, not least after Tim Cook announced that the addition of NFC was one of the "biggest advances in iPhone history", coming a mere eight years after the Nokia 6131 became the first NFC-equipped handset.
