FBI Warns iPhone Owners of ‘Ghost Tap’ Scam—Your Wallet Is at Risk
The FBI just dropped a chilling alert for smartphone users: a new cyber scam called “Ghost Tap” is draining bank accounts faster than you can say “tap to pay.” This sneaky trick uses stolen card info to make contactless purchases through a network of fraudulent devices—bypassing your real card’s security. If you’ve ever linked your credit card to Apple Pay or Google Wallet, you’re a target. The agency says victims often don’t notice until their balance hits zero. To protect your wallet, disable tap-to-pay for suspicious transactions, monitor your bank statements twice a week, and never save your card details on shared devices. Ignore this FBI warning, and you might tap your way to empty pockets.
