Magecart attackers have compromised web shops belonging to large retail chains Claire’s and Intersport and equipped them with payment card skimmers.

The compromise of Claire’s online store and that of its sister brand Icing has been flagged by Sansec researchers.

The skimmer was served from a domain made to look like it might belong to the company (claires-assets.com), and it was added to the two online stores between April 25th and 30th.

How the attackers managed to compromise the web shops is still unknown, but they started planning the attack a month before actually executing it. In fact, they registered the malicious domain a day after Claire’s announced that they will be temporarily close all of their brick and mortar stores due to COVID-19.
