No one can steal this--it's just information. Like no one can steal your address.

In the link:

there is an example to use it because without the vCard it can't be possible to exploit the phone.
What do you think?

So this is just malware being malware. It pretends to be a vcard file so the system accepts it and executes the payload--no different than fake doc jpg pdf etc exploits.

What is payload?
Can you explain how does it work in the event of infecting by malware?

Do search for the term. I cannot explain it as it is in the realm of software code and I am not a programmer.
