Rocket Loader Skimmer

By GoldSparrow in Trojans

The Rocket Loader Skimmer is a threat written in the JavaScript programming language. This brand-new threat may belong to the arsenal of the Magecart gang as they are known to have developed similar skimmers in the past.

The Rocket Loader Skimmer does not have any unique or bizarre features. However, this threat can be very sneaky as the attackers have masked it as a legitimate CloudFlare service that is known to countless users worldwide. The service in question is called Rocket Loader, and it helps users increase the loading speed of their contents. To avoid suspicion, the authors of the Rocket Loader Skimmer are hosting it on a domain that is very similar to the original domain of the genuine CloudFlare service. However, the original domain name is 'http.ps//ajax.cloudflare.com/,' while the fake domain hosting the Rocket Loader Skimmer is 'http://http.ps//ajax.cloudflare.com/.This shady trick may mislead many users.

Skimmers, like the Rocket Loader Skimmer, which is based on JavaScript, can be nasty particularly, as they can compromise an online store and trick countless users. Unfortunately, such skimmers are very difficult to notice, and it is likely that not only the store's users will fail to spot anything out of the ordinary, but the store owners may never realize that their website has been compromised. This makes JavaScript skimmers very threatening and potent threats. The Rocket Loader Skimmer may be able to collect the payment details of hundreds or thousands of users without them even realizing it. The Rocket Loader Skimmer would collect users' credit card details and information such as home address, phone number, name, etc. The Rocket Loader Skimmer is available both in English and in Portuguese.

Do not forget to install a genuine anti-virus software suite on your system, which will protect your computer and your data.  Also, make sure you only shop from reputable companies, as they are more likely to take good measures to protect their customers from skimmer attacks.
