Researchers have discovered that old Stripe APIs are being hijacked by cybercriminals to process fraudulent credit card payments on compromised ecommerce websites.
At least 49 ecommerce sites have been compromised so far, and the actual number of victims is expected to be higher.
Attackers inject malicious JavaScript code into the compromised websites, overlaying the legitimate checkout page with a fake one to harvest payment information.
To mitigate the risk, users are advised to migrate to the newer Stripe API as the deprecated one is being exploited by cybercriminals.
