Armor, a leading cloud security solutions provider, has found what it believes to be the first Magecart-style (credit card sniffing) attack tool to be openly offered for sale on the Dark Web.

According to the ad posted the first week of December, this Magecart-style attack tool is new and is being sold for $1,300 USD. The ad is on a Russian forum, and the threat actors selling the tool has been active in the Russian forums for over a year. He has purportedly also developed and made available for sale a banking trojan for the Android mobile operating system.

In the opinion of TRU senior security researcher Corey Milligan, “This attack tool represents the first step in the commoditization of the Magecart-style attack, creating a new line of revenue for the original Magecart threat groups [...]"

In the hands of a low-level threat actor, the TRU team believes this tool will mostly likely be plugged into a process that involves the automated scanning for and the indiscriminate attacking of vulnerable e-commerce sites, even ones that don’t have the applicable payment form.
