Magecart Hackers Now Targeting Vulnerable Magento Extensions

October 24, 2018 by Satwika Balakrishnan Leave a Comment

 

Magecart is a hacker group specializing in skimming credit card information from unsecured payment forms on websites. This hacker group had previously compromised large websites including British Airways and Ticketmaster. They have now turned to vulnerable Magento extensions. As part of this, these attackers insert a small piece of JavaScript code onto the compromised website to steal all of the credit card information.

The hackers conduct a thorough reconnaissance and only then do they inject their code since each attack is specifically tailored for the targeted site. They make sure that their code blends in with the rest of the domain’s resources, thus making them hard to detect.
