Hot Take:

Well, it seems the only thing Casio UK couldn’t keep on time was the detection of a web skimmer! They managed to protect the checkout page, but who knew cybercriminals were so interested in browsing watches? Sounds like someone forgot to set their cyber alarm clock!

Key Points:

  • Web skimmer infects Casio UK website, excluding the checkout page.
  • 17 websites compromised, vulnerability likely in Magento e-stores.
  • Initial skimmer loader was unobfuscated, unlike usual methods.
  • Data encrypted with AES-256-CBC before exfiltration.
  • Casio UK’s Content Security Policy in report-only mode, not blocking attacks.
