A detailed analysis of a multi-stage card skimming attack exploiting outdated Magento software and fake image files.
In today’s post we’re going to review a sophisticated, multi-stage carding attack on a Magento eCommerce website. This malware leveraged a fake gif image file, local browser sessionStorage data, and tampered with the website traffic using a malicious reverse-proxy server to facilitate the theft of credit card data, login details, cookies, and other sensitive data from the compromised website.
The client was experiencing some strange behaviour on their checkout page, including clients unable to input their card details normally, and orders not going through. They contacted us for assistance. Thinking this would be a straightforward case of credit card theft instead what we found was actually a fascinating and rather advanced malware which we will explore in detail in this post.
Yesterday we discovered another client-side JavaScript attack targeting +500 websites, including governments and universities. The injected scripts create hidden links in the Document Object Model (DOM), pointing to external websites, a programming interface for web documents.
In the ever-evolving landscape of cyberthreats, staying ahead of malicious actors is a constant challenge. The latest edition of Cyber Signals dives deep into the world of Storm-0539, also known as Atlas Lion, shedding light on their sophisticated methods of gift and payment card theft.
