Description

Segway's online store was found to be infected with a malicious code that allowed attackers to steal consumers' credit card information at checkout, according to security experts. Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing personal transporter and human mobility technology manufacturer based in the United States. As per analysts, hackers uploaded a malicious external favicon file into Segway's online shop, which is typically used to show the site's emblem. This malicious favicon file is embedded with a credit card skimmer script which allowed attackers to steal users' credit card information in the attack. The malicious code has been active on Segway's site since January 6, 2021, as per researchers, who suspect threat actors exploited a vulnerability in the Magento CMS (Content Management System) used by the Segway store or utilized one of its plugins to inject it.
