Another trick hackers use when infiltrating e-commerce sites is stealing user credit card information using a tactic known as
credit card skimming. Hackers can do this using credit card skimming malware.
The process is frighteningly simple. The hacker uses a phishing or other kind of cyber attack to gain access to a site. Once they're in, they can exploit existing
vulnerabilities and run in the background, collecting the credit card data of any customer making a purchase.
The data is then transmitted to the hacker. They can then use the credit card information in various ways: making fraudulent purchases or selling the information to other criminals.
Credit card skimming is effective because it can be so challenging to detect. In fact, the malicious program usually runs without the site operator's knowledge. Neither your business nor your victims will know what's going on. This gives hackers leverage as they can collect a large amount of data over a more extended period.
Quttera's credit card skimming detection can help you quickly determine if this malware has compromised your website. This minimizes the damage, helping protect your e-commerce site from losing customers and business.
