A new Magecart skimmer attack has been identified targeting e-commerce websites, posing significant risks to online shoppers and merchants. Magecart, a notorious cybercriminal group, specializes in injecting malicious JavaScript skimmers into payment pages to steal credit card information during transactions. This latest campaign involves sophisticated techniques to evade detection and compromise customer data. The attack exploits vulnerabilities in third-party scripts and content delivery networks, allowing the skimmer to remain hidden for extended periods. Businesses affected by this attack face potential financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties due to data breaches. Cybersecurity experts recommend immediate action, including thorough website audits, enhanced monitoring of third-party scripts, and implementation of Content Security Policies (CSP) to mitigate risks. Additionally, customers are advised to monitor their financial statements closely and report any suspicious activity promptly. This incident underscores the growing threat of supply chain attacks in the e-commerce sector and highlights the need for robust security measures to protect sensitive payment information.
