WooCommerce Sites Targeted by Sophisticated Malware Campaign
Cyber Security News by CyberSum.net
The Wordfence Threat Intelligence Team has identified a sophisticated malware campaign targeting WordPress e-commerce sites using the WooCommerce plugin. The malware, disguised as legitimate plugins, hides payloads inside fake images and maintains remote command access. It intercepts login credentials and injects JavaScript skimmers into checkout pages to steal credit card data. The campaign is attributed to Magecart Group 12, known for persistent credit card skimming operations. Wordfence advises immediate scanning and vigilance for suspicious plugin installations.
