Police in Indonesia have arrested three suspected members of an e-commerce hacking crew that employed JavaScript attack code to steal customer and payment card data.

Joint press conference by Indonesian National Police & #INTERPOL on Operation Night Fury led by INTERPOL's #ASEAN Desk, sharing the successful arrest of 3 suspects involved in JS-sniffer campaign compromising e-commerce websites to steal credit card or online payment information pic.

The three arrests in Indonesia appear to be the first time that police in southeast Asia have identified and arrested Magecart suspects.

"Thanks to Indonesian cyber police and Interpol's prompt actions, Night Fury became the first successful multi-jurisdictional operation against the operators of JavaScript sniffers in the APAC region," Vesta Matveeva, head of Group-IB's APAC cyber investigations team, said at a joint press conference hosted by Indonesian police and Interpol on Friday.

"While the arrests are a big step to combat the surge of web skimming, this group has only been responsible for less than 1 percent of online skimming activity since 2018," Sanguine Security says in reference to the three suspects arrested in Indonesia.
