The method thathackers mostly use to steal credit card data is known as formjacking.
The numbers are quite high compared to all other years.
Not only that, but Norton also claims that the drastic increase in Formjacking attempt is worrisome.
So, how do Formjacking works?
Formjacking is one of the most used hacking techniques used by hackers.
Suppose you are purchasing a product from Amazon and decided to pay for the purchase with your credit card.
After getting the Credit card details, the attacker can use that details to pay for whatever they want.
They can even choose to sell that information on the dark web.
What makes the attack scarier?
This year we have seen a formjacking campaign which is kicked by a group called Magecraft.
The attack targeted Ticketmaster, British Airways, Feedify, and Newegg.
These are not small companies, theyre all well-established and popular e-commerce portals.
So, what does that means?
This simply means that the attack might go unnoticed.
No shopping site is safe.
The worst thing is you cant do much to safeguard yourself from this attack.
So, its all on the shoulders of whichever site you shop from.
However,if you want to be on the safe side, opt for the Cash-on-Delivery mode.
