Earlier this month we discussed mining malware and how crypto’s popularity might have an effect on it’s usage. Well, a report from Check Point has found that 55% of businesses worldwide are now affected by crypto-miners. Hijacking a consumers GPU without their knowledge will reflect badly on your company and in turn damage your reputation. Being aware of the current threat landscape puts you in the drivers seat when keeping your website secure, so let's take a look.
The WannaCry ransomware infestation is a wake-up call for all entities connected to public networks, such as the internet, to recognise cyber security is a necessity and not a nice-to-have. This extensive ransomware attack is non-targeted and global, so any computer system that’s accessible and lacking recent Microsoft patches will be completely vulnerable and could be infected right now.
The Foregenix DFIR team has discovered what is believed to be an unreported piece of malware which has recently been used to target insecure eCommerce websites processing through Stripe, running on the Magento framework.
The eCommerce sector has seen significant year-on-year growth over the last 5 years. With that growth, the world's most popular eCommerce platform, Magento, has seen seen rapid growth too (currently 26% marketshare globally).
With popularity comes a downside - Magento websites are increasingly becoming the target of attacks by criminals .
Over 60% of breached eCommerce websites assisted by our team in 2016 were Magento-based websites.
Magento websites have been under attack from a new malicious JavaScript family of malware - our forensic team has been working with many hacked websites to help them regain control of their online businesses and to limit losses.
