Security firm RiskIQ says a wave of compromises of e-commerce websites earlier this year were carried out through use of a variant of the Ant and Cockroach skimmer which was connected to a group of attackers known as Magecart group 12.

A cyber crime syndicate known as Magecart, which is made up of dozens of sub-groups that indulge in credit card theft by skimming online payment forms, has been found to be implicated in more than two million such attacks.

Sites that have been decommissioned due to attacks by the card-skimming attack group Magecart are being hijacked and re-used for other malicious activity once they come back online by a secondary group of cyber criminals, the security firm RiskIQ claims.

Financial data stolen from British Airways in a recent attack by a group known as Magecart is being hawked on the dark web, the researchers who attributed the attack claim.

The American security firm Symantec says it has blocked nearly a quarter of a million attempts at what it calls "formjacking" — use of malicious JavaScript to steal credit card details and other information from payment forms on the checkout Web pages of e-commerce sites — since mid-August.

The malicious attacker, or attackers, known as Magecart, who infiltrated the British Airways website last month, have now attacked online retailer Newegg using a new domain named neweggstats.com that they registered in August.

It’s the second year of Newegg officially being available in Australia; the company celebrates with a time-limited, discounted Newegg Premier and new eBay store expansion.

From today until ‘Cyber Monday’ on 30 November, with new deals posted ‘throughout the week’, Newegg promises more than 260 ‘deep discounts’ are now available.

US-based online computer hardware and software retailer Newegg is now offering local shipping to customers in Australia as part of its continuing strategic investment in international markets.
