Crooks use Google Tag Manager skimmer to steal credit card data from a Magento-based e-stores
Threat actors are using Google Tag Manager (GTM) to install credit card skimmer malware on Magento-based e-stores, according to Sucuri researchers. The malware hides in a website’s database and steals credit card information entered during the checkout process, sending it to the attackers’ server. This sophisticated attack demonstrates how criminals are using legitimate platforms like GTM to deploy malicious code that is difficult to detect.

Isn’t it about time to retire the concept and strategy of using numbers for identification?
Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers, account numbers, or any kind of numbers are just not secure enough any more. I even have my doubts about crypto keys used for “wallets”.
The Gooferment and Visa are the primary actors that we need to lead the change.
Medicare transitioned from a number to an alphameric string to stop the frauds. Why can’t social security?
I’m not sure what should take its place but how about a secure hash of your name?
“John Q Public” could easily become “9YWJSN0BSVR3IKNV11A2HZM 8X70I24JXUA6REACFTXYD7WC436”!
Go ahead hackers guess that!
