Magento is the #1 target for payment-stealing Magecart attacks. We specialize in cleaning Magento 1 and Magento 2 infections.
Magento stores are the most targeted e-commerce platform for skimmer malware (Magecart). Attackers inject malicious JavaScript into checkout pages to silently steal credit card numbers, CVVs, and billing addresses from every transaction.
Common Magento infection points: compromised admin credentials (Magento 1 admin paths are easily discovered), outdated Magento core versions with known exploits (SUPEE patches missed), modified app/design/frontend/ template files, database injection into core_config_data, and JavaScript added to js/varien/js.js or similar shared files.
Magento 1 reached end-of-life in June 2020 and is especially vulnerable — if you're still on Magento 1, migration to Magento 2 (or another platform) should be part of your security plan. We handle cleanup for both versions.
Yes. We clean Magento 1 sites regularly. However, we strongly recommend migrating to Magento 2, Shopify, or WooCommerce after cleanup — Magento 1 receives no security patches and will be re-exploited eventually. Cleanup buys you time to plan the migration.
Top vectors: (1) admin password brute-forced or leaked, (2) outdated Magento core missing SUPEE patches, (3) vulnerable third-party extensions, (4) compromised hosting environment, (5) supply-chain attacks through extension updates. We identify the specific vector for your case.
If payment data was compromised, most jurisdictions require breach notification. We provide a technical timeline of the infection to help you craft accurate customer communication. Consult a legal professional for compliance specifics in your region.
The longer malware stays, the harder recovery becomes.
