A new type of Citadela financial malware is targeting users of the Payza online payment platform by launching local in-browser attacks to steal their credentials, according to researchers from Trusteer, an Israel-based web access services provider.

The new Citadel variant discovered by Trusteer researchers contains Man-in-the-Browser (MitB) code which alters the form fields users are asked to fill in on Payza's log-in page. More specifically, the code adds an additional PIN (personal identification number) field to the authentication form.

US-based global technology company NCR Corporation is working with restaurant retailer Jamba Juice, in collaboration with PayPal, on a series of customized mobile solutions, including a Jamba Juice branded iOS and Android mobile ordering and payment solution.

The ordering functionality is available in select Jamba Juice locations via the PayPal app to customers and allows them to place mobile orders and pay directly from their smartphone. The customized mobile ordering solution is set to integrate with the NCR Aloha point-of-sale (POS) platform.

Global payment services provider DataCash (part of the MasterCard group) has entered an agreement with MoPowered, a provider of mobile commerce services and mobile web optimization, to extend its mobile solution across the UK.

Iceland-based provider of mobile payment services Handpoint has launched its new chip and PIN mobile Point-of-Sale (mPOS) system for small, medium and enterprise merchants.

Handpoint mPOS enables merchants to accept chip and PIN card payments with a mobile device and can be adopted across mobile platforms using the Handpoint API, while security is delivered by a point-to-point encryption (P2PE) on the Handpoint chip and PIN card reader. Merchants can use their existing mobile and PC checkout systems without having to undergo additional security certification processes.

Apple has added PayPal as an online payment option for the German Online Apple Store, according to online media outlet Macerkopf.de.

Users who place an order with PayPal will be redirected to the PayPal website. They will then need to login using their PayPal username and password. Before sending the order, it is important to check whether the total amount and billing details are correct. Those who are not PayPal customers can still select this payment option and then set up a new account or pay as a guest.

Samsung Electronics, along with Australia-based NFC marketing firm Tapit, UK-based out-of-home advertising company Chiel and terminal vendor VeriFone are rolling out NFC stickers to 80 taxis in the UK, as part of a promotional campaign for musician Robbie Williams’ upcoming Samsung-sponsored tour.

Tapit said the campaign is a pilot for a permanent deployment of NFC marketing on a larger number of taxis already equipped with VeriFone’s video advertising screens.

US financial services provider Wells Fargo has introduced 3-Domain verification for commercial card customers in order to protect their purchases.

The technology is aimed at mitigating fraud as it moves from the point of sale to online channels. 3-D Secure upgrades online payments security by verifying cardholder identity and merchant credibility. Comparatively, EMV- (EuroPay, MasterCard and Visa) compliant cards contain an embedded microprocessor chip that verifies the cardholder and combats point-of-sale fraud.

NFC could have a growing role in health and fitness applications, especially helping to collect and transmit data, though it’s not suited for all uses.

That’s according to panel discussion this week organized by the MIT Enterprise Forum’s NFC Cluster in Boson, titled “How NFC Will Keep Us Fit.”
