Our malware research and incident response teams publish technical content in the Sucuri Labs Notes. The knowledge and recommendations are useful to keep your website and visitors safe.
This month we saw a large variety of cases being analyzed by our team, including some interesting SEO spam techniques, malware-injected databases, and conditional malware targeting specific mobile platforms.
Credit card skimmers are the primary issue that we have been writing about, especially with the holidays getting closer. More online shopping means more chances for the bad guys to have access to credit card information.
