What is E7SLFG?
Often found on online stores,
E7SLFG is a common
digital skimmer (also known as
Magecart) that was first detected on
April 3rd, 2020. So far, Sansec has discovered this malware on 71 different victim stores. The most common attacked
platform is Magento 1.
How does work?
The skimmer is loaded on the checkout page of a typical store. It lives in the browser of an unsuspecting online customer. Whenever he or she enters her payment information, the private data is siphoned off to an offshore server. Usually, this data is then sold on the dark web within 2-10 weeks.
How to clean ?
The malware can be easily removed. It is usually hidden in a database field, such as core_config_data, cms_blocks or cms_pages. Sometimes the malware is appended to a specific .js code file. However just cleaning the malware is not enough: you need to discover the root cause of this malware, otherwise you will soon find the same malware back in your store.
