Web Credit Card Skimmer Steals Data from Another Credit Card Skimmer
2021-02-09 12:01

MalwareBytes is reporting a weird software credit card skimmer.

Even though spotting multiple card skimmer scripts on the same online shop is not unheard of, this one stood out due to its highly specialized nature.

"The threat actors devised a version of their script that is aware of sites already injected with a Magento 1 skimmer," Malwarebytes' Head of Threat Intelligence Jérôme Segura explains in a report shared in advance with Bleeping Computer.

"That second skimmer will simply harvest credit card details from the already existing fake form injected by the previous attackers."
