Abstract:
In 2019 British Airways was fined a remarkable £183 million for a data breach that affected more than 380.000 of its customers. Magecart, the hacking group behind the attack, specializes in credit card theft and British Airways have not been their only victim. Ticketmaster, Forbes, Newegg and numerous online webshops have suffered security breaches by digital skimmers.

In the real world, a skimmer is a physical device inserted at payment terminals in order to harvest credit card data. Digital skimming is usually done through javascript code injected in a webpage where victims visit to fill in payment, or other types of sensitive data.

So how do you detect an attack? Is there an easy method to monitor javascript and deter digital skimmers? In this talk I will be presenting exactly this: a method to audit your javascript in order to stop digital skimmers from looting your websites.
