RiskIQ – Magecart: The State of a Growing Threat
Computer Fraud & Security · 2019
Magecart has become notorious as a form of malware that ‘skims’ e-commerce websites. Injected into the site's code, usually on payment pages, it captures payment card data and any other information entered by shoppers before sending this data to the criminals' servers. But in fact, Magecart is more than just malware – it's a sub-culture of cyber criminals who are becoming more effective, more widespread and probably a lot richer every day.
