An attacker has hidden an NFC reader behind an NFC-based kiosk in an airport. The attacker uses the device to capture NFC data in transit between end user devices and the reader in the kiosk. She then uses that information to masquerade as the original end user device and establish an NFC connection to the kiosk. What kind of attack has occurred in this scenario

Answer:

Nfc relay attack

Step-by-step explanation:

The NFC relay attack occurs when data is extracted by an attacker who puts himself in the middle of two parties having a communication with each other. As the message gets to a party, the attacker gets it and modifies it to their taste then passes it on.

This attacker in this question is extracting data by establishing communication between end user devices and reader in the kiosk
