Credit Card Skimmer and Backdoor on WordPress E-commerce Site
A sophisticated malware attack targeting WordPress WooCommerce sites was discovered, involving multiple components: a credit card skimmer, a hidden backdoor file manager, and a reconnaissance script. The attack focused on financial gain and long-term control. The skimmer, injected into the checkout page, collected payment and billing information, sending it to a malicious server. A PHP backdoor allowed remote system command execution, while a reconnaissance script gathered server information. The attack demonstrates the evolving complexity of e-commerce platform threats, emphasizing the need for strict security measures, regular scans, proper access controls, and timely updates to prevent such exploits.

@carnage4life I have mixed feelings about that.
Shure #PayPal doing the #Honey #AffiliateStealing is unacceptable, but I could understand it if people made something that is actually consensual that does it.
I.e. a "creator support" plugin that allows people to add and choose affiliate links by someone.
This is espechally true for people who don't have a #CreditCard nor PayPal account (i.e. most people in #Germany) that still want to support their social nedia icons.
That being said even #PC manufaturers like #hp got caught shoving #AffiliateLinks onto #preinstalls with #bookmarks!
Also rewriting also means removing as well...
An interesting article that is published by the #gardian #newspaper about a €500,000 #jackpot in #france that is won by thieves.
While the situation is legally complex, #french #law would likely favor Jean-David as the rightful beneficiary of the jackpot, given that the scratchcard was purchased using his stolen #creditcard . The thieves have no legal claim to the winnings, and the #lottery operator may refuse to pay out the prize to them.

Evolving Snake Keylogger Variant
A new variant of Snake Keylogger, identified as AutoIt/Injector.GTY!tr, has been detected by FortiSandbox v5.0. This malware has attempted over 280 million infections, primarily targeting China, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Spain. Snake Keylogger steals sensitive information from popular web browsers by logging keystrokes, capturing credentials, and monitoring the clipboard. It exfiltrates data to its command-and-control server using SMTP and Telegram bots. FortiSandbox's advanced AI engine, PAIX, detected the malware through static and dynamic analysis, revealing its use of AutoIt for obfuscation, process hollowing techniques, and persistence mechanisms. The keylogger also employs specialized modules to steal credit card details and leverages the SetWindowsHookEx API for keystroke capture.

Magento Credit Card Stealer Disguised in an <img> Tag
A sophisticated credit card stealing malware, disguised within an <img> tag, was discovered on a Magento-based eCommerce website. The malware uses Base64 encoding to hide its malicious JavaScript code, making it difficult to detect. It activates on the checkout page, waiting for user interaction before collecting credit card information. The script creates a hidden form to capture card details and sends the data to a remote server. This technique allows the malware to avoid detection by security scanners and remain unnoticed by users. The article emphasizes the importance of keeping eCommerce platforms updated, using web application firewalls, enforcing strong passwords, and implementing additional security measures to protect against such attacks.
