Cyber Risks · Krebs on Security

Who’s In Your Online Shopping Cart?

Summary: Krebs on Security documented card-skimming code hidden on e-commerce sites, including asianfoodgrocer-dot-com, which loads a script hosted on the hacked Ghanaian store zoobashop-dot-com, and look-alike domains such as bargalnjunkie-dot-com that swap an 'i' for a lowercase 'L'. Searches on publicwww.com found more than 50 merchants pulling code from bootstrap-js-dot-com and at least a dozen loading js-react-dot-com, while none of the sites named were flagged by the more than five dozen antivirus tools at virustotal.com.

What's compelling: Symantec said it blocked almost a quarter of a million formjacking attempts between mid-August and September 2018, and the scripts sit in existing checkout pages where file-integrity tools like Tripwire and AIDE may not catch them.
