🛒💻🔍 Magecart remains a significant threat to e-commerce security in 2025. Cybercriminals have intensified their attacks on online shopping platforms, particularly targeting Magento-based websites to steal sensitive cardholder information. Since its emergence in 2015, Magecart has exploited vulnerabilities in e-commerce systems, with a notable increase in activity during the pandemic as online shopping surged. Recent attacks have leveraged critical vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2024-20720, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands and install backdoors for data theft. The CosmicSting campaign compromised thousands of sites, with attackers injecting skimmer codes to capture payment information during checkout. As e-commerce continues to grow, the Magecart threat persists, highlighting the need for robust security measures.
