According to FIN6 Compromised E-commerce Platform via Magecart to Inject Credit Card Skimmers Into Thousands of Online Shops from the TREND MICRO intelligence blog, this thing isn’t going away any time soon. According to the beginning of the article, another 3126 sites are effected, and this is now on the web, not just your brick and morter shop now. Once this thing is installed, it scrapes credit card data through scripts through the SSL connection and out to the bad guys. There are links to various items on this article, so paraphraising is going to be difficult. I’m passing this along so that we all can be aware, and do the best we can to protect our cards from this attack.
The bad thing is that the site may even look normal, and we may never know it. It seems thats the risk we take now. Let me know your thoughts on this one. It can’t be good.
