The retail world is under attack. Hackers across the globe are stealing personal details – including credit card information – on an alarmingly regular basis. This is done by placing digital “credit card skimmers” on compromised e-commerce sites. Hackers are able to access these sites usually through 3rd parties software in the form of JavaScript.
