Skimming
Skimming is a fraudulent practice in which criminals obtain sensitive information, such as credit or debit card data, without the cardholder’s consent. The process gets its name from the English term “skim,” which literally means “to shake” or “scrape,” as criminals “scrape” or capture information from the magnetic stripe of the card. Among the most identified skimming techniques are:
E-commerce compromise with vulnerable versions.
Accessing the network through phishing emails or brute-force attacks to obtain credentials.
Inserting malicious JavaScript code.
Web skimming scripts uploaded to CDNs or other cloud services.
The use of newly registered domains with names very similar to legitimate active phone number list web services or specific e-commerce stores to host malicious skimmer scripts.
Adware
Adware is malware that displays unwanted advertisements or pop-ups on the user's computer. Although less harmful than other forms of malware, it can be annoying and reduce system performance.
Here are some helpful tips to protect your WordPress site in a preventative way.
Install antivirus software
We recommend using antivirus software and running regular scans to ensure that your systems are not compromised. You will be able to analyze the level of protection in terms of browser, server, network and device so that you have complete and always up-to-date scans of the situation.
