Join Gemini Advisory to get to know one of our latest solutions, Magecart Overwatch.
As more retailers have shifted to online shops, CNP fraud continues to rise. Digital skimming, also known as a Magecart attack, is a major driver of CNP fraud, infecting e-commerce sites to siphon payment card details. The stolen card data is often then resold on the dark web and ultimately used for fraudulent purchases.
Gemini Advisory developed Magecart Overwatch to proactively map criminal activity across thousands of e-commerce sites. Through proactive domain scanning and sophisticated security analysis, Magecart Overwatch provides near real-time visibility into newly breached e-commerce domains globally, identifies points of infections, establishes a window of exposure, and links multiple infections to specific campaigns.
Join Gemini’s Director of Research and Development, Stas Alforov, and Senior Fraud Analyst, Shane Asher, to hear how Magecart Overwatch is scouring the web to reduce fraud.
- Learn how Gemini leverages different types of indicators of compromise (IOCs) to identify thousands of infections worldwide.
- Review the timeline between Magecart infections and when the compromised payment card data is actually offered for sale on dark web marketplaces.
- Learn about new Magecart trends and how criminal actors use numerous evasive techniques to stay ahead of the researchers and site administrators.
- Learn how financial institutions as well as merchant acquirers and processors can leverage the intelligence to reduce fraud exposure, and how e-commerce platforms can increase security through active monitoring of client sites.
