Hundreds of eCommerce sites, including those owned by a $40 billion multinational company, were impacted by a supply chain attack involving a sophisticated backdoor embedded within Magento extensions.
Attackers activated dormant malicious code after six years, compromising 500 to 1,000 websites with the ability to steal payment card information and other sensitive data.
The incident underscores the shift to long con cyberattacks targeting supply chains, urging organizations to prioritize cybersecurity measures and ensure the integrity of the software supply chain.
The evolving threat landscape calls for a zero-trust framework, automated code integrity checks, and enhanced scrutiny of software supply chains to mitigate vulnerabilities in the digital economy.
