Threat actors are always one step ahead, so after ransomware and cryptojacking, they have latched to a new, high-return attack: formjacking.
Incidents of formjacking attacks – where hackers inject malicious JavaScript code into a website to skim data – rose steadily in the second half of last year. These small lines of code are very hard to detect but very effective. While formjacking can scrape data from any element of web browsing, it’s mostly targeted at ecommerce sites. One researcher, Willem de Groot, estimates that at least 50 e-merchants a day were being hacked between November and February.
