Brazil Gets Shafted by Yet Another Bloody Banking Trojan

Well, guess what, Brazil’s digital landscape just caught another case of “What The Actual Fuck?” — this time courtesy of some sneaky little bastards who cooked up a new banking trojan. Yeah, because apparently, the internet wasn’t already infested enough with bottom-feeding digital parasites. This delightful crapfest spreads through, of course, bloody WhatsApp — everyone’s favorite tool for forwarding garbage memes and now, malicious payloads too. The worm slithers through chat messages like a drunk intern with admin rights, dropping the trojan faster than users can Type “LOL.”

But wait, it gets even worse — these cyber-weevels have added something new to their bag of malicious party tricks: RelayNFC fraud. Yup, they’re hijacking near-field communication (NFC) to pull off contactless payment scams. So now, thanks to this bunch of inventive assholes, even your tap-to-pay transactions have joined the “potentially fucked” category. Bravo, cybercriminals, bravo! You’ve officially managed to screw NFC before most folks even figured out what it stood for.

The malware seems to be crafted by the same breed of code-slinging degenerates that always target Latin American bank customers — because money theft is so much easier than, you know, actual work. Once it lands, it steals credentials, drains accounts, and probably sends your grandmother’s life savings straight into the hands of some basement-dwelling cyber-scumbag. Typical Tuesday, really.

So, moral of the story? Don’t trust your bloody phone, your messages, or your own thumb hovering over the “install” button. The moment you think, “Oh, that looks harmless,” congratulations — you’ve just gift-wrapped your banking info for a hacker in sweatpants. Technology was supposed to make life easier, but apparently, all it’s done is make getting screwed more efficient.

Reminds me of the time a junior sysadmin clicked a “free antivirus” link that installed, well… viruses. His machine screamed, my coffee went cold, and I introduced his laptop to gravity — via the third-floor window. Some people learn from pain. Others? They install trojans from WhatsApp. Idiots.
