eComm Stealthy Malware - a new threat targeting eCommerce

Stealthy Malware targeting eCommerce sites is a new trend that is gathering momentum.  If you run or own an ecommerce business, this is something you need to be aware of.

Good morning!   A new trend is emerging that eComm businesses and their agencies need to be aware of - the emergence of "Stealthy Malware". While most people may consider malware to be "stealthy" by nature, the reality is that if you know what to look for, you can easily find the digital skimmers that have been plaguing eCommerce sites for the last few years - they are not that tricky to find and certainly not stealthy in our opinion. What we call "Stealthy Malware" is a new category of malware that is very well concealed - making it all but impossible to detect using most website malware scanners.   Typically this "Stealthy Malware" is triggered during the checkout process and can be exceedingly challenging to identify.  Roughly 35% of the new malware we have detected this year through our forensic practice is "Stealthy Malware" - this trend is in full flow now.   Here's an article on how to defend against this kind of attack.
