Cybercriminals have planted a payment card skimmer on the websites of several organizations using the Playback Now conference platform, Malwarebytes reported on Thursday.
The customer websites hosted on it - customers receive a dedicated website which they can use to serve their content - had been injected with a payment card skimmer that allowed the attackers to steal the financial information of users purchasing conference materials from those sites.
It's worth noting that Playback Now's official website, playbacknow.com, does not appear to be affected.
The cybercriminals then inserted one line of code that fetched malicious JavaScript from a domain with a name similar to the official Playback Now website, specifically playbacknows.com, which they registered only a few weeks ago.
Tens of thousands of e-commerce websites are still powered by this outdated version of the platform.
