Magecart is a well known framework in the underground for stealing credit card numbers from websites (if they can get the JavaScript running on a checkout page).
If you hit it directly they will redirect to a random "Spin the wheel win a prize" type site in an attempt to hide the malicious nature of the payload.
- ryanlol 6y agoThis is not magecart.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoSo they got really lucky it wasn’t magecart - does this change anything?
- ryanlol 6y agoOf course it does.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoIf someone drove drunk and drove into a pedestrian who survives after a month in ER does this diminish the severity of drinking or not?
- ryanlol 6y agoAn incident where the pedestrian isn’t killed is almost certainly less severe than one where the pedestrian is killed.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoI just don’t see how that diminishes the action of crime though. A failed drug dealer (who got caught), by your definition, should get less time because they never managed to sell the drugs they were transporting over the border and got caught :)
- ryanlol 6y agoBut why are we talking about the justice system here? The impact of these actions matters far more to the victims than whatever consequence the perpetrator may face. If your website was affected by this hack, surely you’d care about how your customers were impacted. Lots of people here keep repeating the claim that this was magecart, that’s just not true.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoMaybe only in America (but American law system is heavily biased towards people who have enough money to navigate it) - where deals and various legalese are a usual concept.
