Magecart attackers have compromised web shops belonging to large retail chains Claire's and Intersport and equipped them with payment card skimmers.

How the attackers managed to compromise the web shops is still unknown, but they started planning the attack a month before actually executing it.

Only the localized Intersport web shops serving customers from the Balkans region have been compromised.

None of the compromised web shops sport a prominent notification about the breach and payment card info theft.

UPDATE: June 17, 2020 - 8:20 AM ET. Intersport reached out to Help Net Security with the following comment: "In this hacking attack, a code was installed on our websites with purpose to scan payment card data. Intersport reacted immediately upon discovery and the suspicious code was removed. No payment card information was intercepted, as online card payments are processed through the independent WSPay payment platform, which was not affected by the malicious code."
