WordPress E-Commerce Sites Targeted by New Credit Card Skimmer
/ 1 min read
🦊💳 New Stealthy Credit Card Skimmer Targets WordPress E-Commerce Sites. Cybersecurity researchers have identified a sophisticated credit card skimmer campaign that infiltrates WordPress e-commerce checkout pages by injecting malicious JavaScript into the database. This malware activates on checkout pages, either hijacking existing payment fields or creating fake forms that mimic legitimate processors like Stripe to capture sensitive payment information. The skimmer employs multiple layers of obfuscation to evade detection, encoding stolen data before transmitting it to attacker-controlled servers. This development follows similar campaigns and highlights the evolving tactics of cybercriminals, including phishing schemes that exploit legitimate PayPal addresses to hijack user accounts. The increasing complexity of these attacks poses significant challenges for online security.
