Systems and methods for detecting near field communication risks

摘要

A computer-implemented method for detecting near field communication risks may include (1) identifying a mobile device capable of near field communication, (2) identifying an attempted near field communication involving the mobile device, (3) tracking at least one contextual behavior relating to the attempted near field communication; and (4) determining, based at least in part on the contextual behavior, that the attempted near field communication poses a risk to the mobile device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method for detecting near field communication risks, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
identifying a mobile device capable of near field communication; identifying a potentially illegitimate attempted near field communication involving the mobile device; tracking at least one contextual behavior by a device with near field communication capability observed to occur during a predefined time window surrounding the potentially illegitimate attempted near field communication and relating to the potentially illegitimate attempted near field communication, wherein tracking the contextual behavior comprises determining that the mobile device did not provide a user-facing notification of the potentially illegitimate attempted near field communication; determining, based at least in part on the contextual behavior having occurred within the predefined time window, that the contextual behavior indicates an attempted attack on the mobile device that involves the potentially illegitimate attempted near field communication; and determining, based at least in part on the contextual behavior indicating an attempted attack on the mobile device, that the potentially illegitimate attempted near field communication poses a risk to the mobile device.
