Forbes subscribers warned of Magecart threat skimming credit card details
The State of Security
The notorious Magecart malware, that blights online stores by stealing payment card details from unsuspecting shoppers at checkout, has claimed another high profile victim.
Security researcher Troy Mursch raised the alarm on Twitter that the Forbes magazine subscription website had been compromised with malicious code that was siphoning off sensitive credit card information as users attempted to sign-up for the paper edition.
Unsuspecting subscribers would think they were entering their details to receive regular copies of the magazine, but what they didn’t know was that payment card numbers, expiry dates, three digit CVV/CVC security number were being grabbed by hackers, alongside their names, addresses, and phone numbers
