Cybercriminals Exploit Google Tag Manager for Credit Card Skimmers on Magento Sites

Cybercriminals are increasingly using Google Tag Manager (GTM) to deploy credit card skimmer malware on Magento-based e-commerce websites. This tactic allows attackers to inject malicious code that appears to be legitimate GTM and Google Analytics scripts, thereby evading detection.

Key Points

  • Attackers leverage GTM to deliver obfuscated backdoor scripts.
  • The malicious code is designed to steal credit card information from unsuspecting customers.
  • Website security firm Sucuri has reported on this emerging threat.
  • The skimmer operates under the guise of standard analytics and advertising scripts.
