Security researchers at Visa have uncovered a new type of JavaScript skimmer that has infected the online checkout pages for at least 17 ecommerce websites in an effort to steal payment card data. This newly discovered skimmer, dubbed “Pipka,” has the ability to remove itself from the HTML of a compromised payment website after it executes, enabling it to avoid security detection, according to the Visa researchers.
After first finding Pipka, the Visa researchers discovered the skimmer on at least 16 other online checkout pages at ecommerce sites. As with other skimmers, Pipka is designed to extract payment card account number, expiration date, card verification value number, cardholder name and address.
The creators of Pipka incorporated the self-removal technique as an extra layer of defense against security software. And while this type of avoidance technique has been spotted with desktop malware, it has not been previously incorporated into JavaScript skimmers.
