Mage Cart is still out there, taking lots of more data

Hello everyone, welcome to another blog post here on the blog. On this blog post, I want to talk about the continuing threat of Mage Cart.

This related group according to the article hit e-comerce sites and took over 180,000 payment card details.

Mage Cart style attacks embed a script in to the page that takes the data, but otherwise does nothing to the web site. You can make your purchase as normal, however, what will happen later, you may not know until you get your statement.

Hackers who targeted 570 e-commerce sites to steal customer financial information compromised more than 180,000 payment cards as part of a covert fraud
effort, according to new research analysis.

The group, known as “Keeper,” inserted malicious computer code onto the sites, typically by exploiting weaknesses in technology provided by the sites’
third-party software suppliers. The attack technique, broadly
known as Magecart, has struck many thousands of merchants in recent years, ranging from British Airways.

While the number in this article is low, I’m sure that the groups that are behind this type of thing want to get as much as possible. There are links within this article, so I’m going to leave you by linking to Jeff’s article: Magecart-related group hits 570 websites, taking 184,000 card numbers and I hope that this information is of value to you. Thanks so much for reading!
