Cloudflare has launched a new web security offering to prevent Magecart-style attacks.
Magecart is an umbrella term used to describe JavaScript-based, card-skimming attacks. Legitimate websites and e-commerce platforms containing vulnerabilities — such as in a back-end content management system (CMS) or third-party script dependencies — are exploited, JavaScript code is embedded in e-commerce-related pages, and then any payment card information submitted to these pages is harvested and sent to attackers.
