About 500 e-commerce websites were recently found to be compromised by hackers who installed a credit card skimmer that surreptitiously stole sensitive data when visitors attempted to make a purchase.<\/p>\n

A report<\/a> published on Tuesday is only the latest one involving Magecart, an umbrella term given to competing crime groups that infect e-commerce sites with skimmers. Over the past few years, thousands<\/a> of sites<\/a> have been hit<\/a> by exploits that cause them to run malicious code. When visitors enter payment card details during purchase, the code sends them to attacker-controlled servers.<\/p>\n

Sansec, the security firm that discovered the latest batch of infections, said the compromised sites were all loading malicious scripts hosted at the domain naturalfreshmall[.]com.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
