Security firm Symantec states in an annual report that hackers have turned to a new form of cybercrime, formjacking. That's a method of stealing information from forms on online stores
According to Symantec, 4,800 Web stores are hacked via formjacking every month. Hackers then have the code of web forms on which customers enter information. This allows them to see account numbers and other personal information. Formjacking attacks occurred last year, for example, at British Airways and Ticketmaster.
So far, attacks have mainly targeted foreign Web stores. Dutch Web stores may be a less desirable target for formjackers, because payment by credit card is less popular here than elsewhere and, therefore, payment information is less likely to be found in Web forms.
