Quote:In an interesting development on the financial cybercrime scene, different Magecart groups have been spotting stepping over each other and attacking the same sites.
According to research from PerimeterX, multiple Magecart attacks are skimming credit cards from sites at the same time. These don’t seem to be coordinated, according to the firm, given that each of the attacks were different in terms of the techniques used to compromise the target retailers.
Ido Safruti, co-founder and CTO of PerimeterX, said in an email interview that the presence of multiple skimmers indicates that the Magecart groups are less affiliated with each other than many believe.
“From we’ve learned so far, this is a cybercrime-as-a-service operation where multiple groups operate and breach websites, Magento-based and others, and they use different skimming kits purchased on the Dark Web,” he told Threatpost. “Cybercriminals are taking advantage of any new opportunity. When a specific type of attack has been published or exposed and studied, many crime groups will try and take advantage of the new attack and the new techniques used in it.”
