10,000+ websites and apps are vulnerable to Magecart

Magecart is a term used to describe a type of cyber attack in which hackers compromise third-party code (typically Javascript that runs in browsers) in order to steal, or scrape, information such as credit card data from web applications (e.g., online checkout software) or websites that incorporate the code.

Over the last two years, the researchers examined over 30,000 vulnerabilities and discovered significant flaws in modern security platforms and processes for detecting and mitigating Magecart attacks.
