A Dutch security researcher has lifted the veil on a massive website hacking campaign that has infected 7,339 Magento stores with a script that collects payment card data from people shopping on the sites.
MagentoCore —the most fertile payment skimmer to date
According to de Groot, this is "the most successful to date."

"The victim list contains multi-million dollar, publicly traded companies, which suggests the malware operators make a handsome profit," de Groot adds. "But the real victims are eventually the customers, who have their card and identity stolen."

[...] According to de Groot, 4.2% of all Magento stores today are infected with one or more types of malicious scripts.

I don't get it, don't these website operators secure their systems? Also, I don't think it should be this easy to perform fraud with credit-cards. It's not clear to me if these hackers use this stolen info for online shopping? Or can they use it to clone cards in order to shop in brick and mortar stores?
