Tupperware’s online store infected with payment skimming malware
Exploit: Malware attack
Tupperware: Home products line
Risk to Small Business: 2.334 = Severe: Hackers infiltrated Tupperware’s online store, injecting payment skimming malware into the checkout process. The malicious script was active for at least five days, and it effectively mimicked Tupperware’s official payment form. After shoppers entered their data into the fake form, a “time out” error appeared, redirecting customers to the actual payment page and disguising the theft, which allowed it to go undetected.
Individual Risk: 2.428 = Severe: The payment skimming malware collected customer data entered including names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, expiration dates, and CVV codes. This data could allow hackers to commit financial theft or identity fraud. Those impacted by the breach should immediately notify their banks, as they will likely need to be issued new payment cards and carefully monitor their accounts for misuse.
Customers Impacted: Unknown
How it Could Affect Your Customers’ Business: The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the already-important online shopping experience for many businesses, and online shopping is a singular respite in an otherwise bleak outlook for retailers. Companies can’t afford to lose customers because of a cybersecurity vulnerability. Many customers indicate that they will not return to an online store after a data breach, which means that companies looking to capitalize on their online stores need to make sure this avenue is secure.
Risk Levels:
1 - 1.5 = Extreme Risk
1.51 - 2.49 = Severe Risk
2.5 - 3 = Moderate Risk
