Do you have an iPhone? Do you make use of the Apple Pay service? If so there is a security issue you need to be aware of. Researchers have discovered a means by which fraudulent payments can be made from a locked iPhone.

Two conditions must be true for the flaw to be exploited. The user must have a Visa card in their digital wallet and they must have express mode enabled.

Essentially the flaw amounts to digital pick-pocketing. It can be performed even if the owner of the phone has it tucked away in a bag or pocket. Even worse is the fact that there is no transaction limit.
