The credit-card-skimming game started with physical skimmers on ATMs and has evolved to memory skimming on point-of-sale terminals. Since 2014, skimmers have successfully been targeting e-commerce platforms at an alarming rate, stealing from consumers shopping in the perceived safety of their own homes. Over the past years, RiskIQ has been publishing details on a set of groups under the umbrella name "Magecart", profiling their attacks on e-commerce businesses from small shops to major online merchants like Ticketmaster and British Airways.
In this talk, we will discuss how the Magecart threat evolved, break down its high-profile attacks in detail, and show how the criminals monetize their plunder. We’ll also explain how their uncanny ability to adapt to their environment and get smarter makes them such a formidable adversary for security teams.
