Quote:More than 80 global eCommerce sites have been uncovered that were actively compromised by Magecart groups.
 
Magecart, a loose affiliation of attack groups responsible for the payment-card attacks on Ticketmaster, Forbes, British Airways, Newegg and others, typically insert virtual credit-card skimmers, also known as formjacking, into a web application (usually the shopping cart), and proceed to steal credit card information to sell on the black market.
 
According to research released Wednesday from the Aite Group and Arxan Technologies, a quarter (25 percent) of the sites discovered were “large, reputable brands in the motorsports industry and luxury apparel.” In all, the compromised sites were spread out across the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
