The website of international retail chain Claire's was compromised by Macegart hackers for weeks amid an increase in overall online shopping due to the coronavirus pandemic, Sansec reports.

The hackers injected malicious code not only into the fashion retailer's website, but also the online store of its sister brand Icing.

While it's uncertain how the attackers managed to compromise the online stores in the first place, it's clear that they anticipated a surge in online traffic following the lockdown.

At the end of April, Magecart hackers also managed to compromise several online stores of sportswear retailer Intersport.

Replying to ESET, Sensec revealed that Intersport was initially compromised on April 30, that it cleared the infection on May 3, but got hacked again on May 14.
