An ongoing campaign of web skimmers in the Magecart style has been discovered by cybersecurity researchers, and it is intended to steal credit card information and personally identifiable information (PII) from e-commerce websites.
The hijacked sites also act as "improvised" command-and-control (C2) servers, using the cover to facilitate the distribution of malicious code without the knowledge of the victim sites. This distinguishes it from other Magecart campaigns.
The personal information of thousands of website visitors may be at risk of being collected and sold for illegal gain, according to a statement from web security company Akamai that it has identified victims of varying sizes in North America, Latin America, and Europe.
"During the campaign, attackers use a variety of evasion techniques, including obfuscating [using] Base64 and masking the attack to resemble well-known third-party services, such as Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager," said Roman Lvovsky, a security researcher at Akamai.
In a nutshell, the plan is to compromise trustworthy legitimate websites and use them to host web skimmer code, taking advantage of the trustworthiness of the legitimate domains in the process. Attacks have sometimes been ongoing for almost a month.
According to Akamai, "attackers hack into (using vulnerabilities or any other available means), a vulnerable, legitimate site, such as a small or medium-sized retail website, and stash their code within it, rather than using the attackers' own C2 server to host malicious code, which may be flagged as a malicious domain.".
As a result of the attacks, two different types of victims have been identified: vulnerable e-commerce websites that are the target of the skimmers, and legitimate websites that have been compromised to serve as a "distribution center" for malware.
Web-skimmer assault.
Some websites have unintentionally spread malware to other vulnerable websites while also being the target of data theft and identity theft.
According to Lvovsky, "this attack included the exploitation of Magento, WooCommerce, WordPress, and Shopify, demonstrating the growing variety of vulnerabilities and abusable digital commerce platforms.".
The technique creates a "smokescreen" that makes it difficult to recognize and respond to such attacks by taking advantage of the established trust the websites have accrued over time.
Other strategies are used by the campaign as well to avoid detection. This includes disguising the skimmer code as third-party services like Google Tag Manager or Facebook Pixel to hide its true purposes.
JavaScript code snippets are also used as loaders to retrieve the entire attack code from the victim's website, reducing the attack's footprint and chances of being discovered.
The two different versions of the obfuscated skimmer code are designed to intercept and exfiltrate PII and credit card information as an encoded string over an HTTP request to an actor-controlled server.
Every time a user completes checkout, exfiltration will only occur once, according to Lvovsky. "Once a user's information is stolen, the script will flag the browser to make sure it doesn't steal the information twice (to reduce suspicious network traffic). As a result, this Magecart-style attack is even more evasive.

Yes, users can earn additional CRP coins by participating in the PoS consensus algorithm of the UtopiaP2P ecosystem just by holding their CRP coin in the built-in uWallet.
By taking part in the mining process, which entails supplying processing power to support the network and verify transactions, users can also earn Crypton coin (CRP).
Another means of earning I know is hosting uNS names which create and host unique domain names on the UtopiaP2P network using uNS, and earn CRP through the use of their domain names.

Yeah, the trading of uNS like NFT could trigger the UtopiaP2P ecosystem to join the NFT market. What do you think of the UtopiaP2P launch pad that was paused?
It is hard to tell what's the reason why the development of the UtopiaP2P ecosystem choose to pause the launchpad but I believe launching it now is not a good idea and that's why they pause it.
Yes, creating a launchpad now is not a good decision since there are still a lot of things that need to be well-developed. An example is the mobile wallet and more trading pair on the Crypton exchange.

I think you're missing one thing about the UtopiaP2P project. It was said to be all in one kit. Technically it ought to provide privacy in all areas.Yes, UtopiaP2P need to join the NFT market and make privacy available there since the development team of UtopiaP2P said they are going to make privacy available almost everywhere.

If we do the mathematical calculation you are right because the Crypton coin was currently accepted as payment by 1859 online merchants which is a hard record for every privacy coin.
Yes, some of the records achieved by the Crypton coin in 3years is something some cryptocurrency in the market was unable to achieve as we speak.
What I like about Crypton coin that also makes me believe it will be among the top privacy coin is that it is completely good for everything, transaction, and mass adoption.

Telegram is a good place to learn about cryptocurrency but be careful of scammers that offer shady business deals and trading.
You're right and despite the benefit of the telegram, the only problem it had is that some cryptocurrency scammers use it as a platform to target their victims.

However, depending on various aspects like the network's congestion, the sender's transaction fee, and the volume of the transaction, confirmations may take some time.
For a transaction to be fully validated in some cryptocurrencies, a certain number of confirmations must occur. In order to prevent double spending, which occurs when a user uses the same funds in multiple transactions, and to ensure that the transaction is irreversible, these steps are taken.
In addition, a cryptocurrency transaction is generally considered confirmed when it appears in a block of the blockchain, though the time it takes to confirm and the number of confirmations needed may differ depending on a number of variables.
#1835 Articles and News » New action against Ndrangheta » 2023-06-05 23:40:19

The competent authorities in Italy, Belgium, and Germany have received assistance from Eurojust and Europol as part of a new operation against alleged Ndrangheta-related international drug trafficking. Thirty-one suspects were detained and property worth more than EUR 3.8 million was seized during a joint action day. The ground operations involved over 840 officers.
The investigation was a follow-up to one that Italian authorities conducted against the same criminal network between 2013 and 2018. The suspects allegedly continued to transport primarily cocaine from South America to Germany and Italy via several European ports using the established and well-established network. In order to accomplish this, the organized crime group (OCG) established companies in Germany to aid in the drug smuggling. The OCG used foreign businesses dealing in food and automobiles to cover its drug transports.
31 suspects were detained on June 5 during an action day, with 18 being taken into custody in Italy, 8 in Belgium, and 5 in Germany. 53 searches in total were conducted. Cash, drugs, expensive vehicles, and other assets totaling more than EUR 3.8 million were seized.
According to the Italian authorities' request, Eurojust opened the case in August 2019. In February 2020, the German and Italian governments established a joint investigation team (JIT) with the assistance of Eurojust. Belgian participants were added to the JIT in March 2021. In addition to facilitating the transmission and execution of numerous European Investigation Orders and requests for reciprocal legal assistance, the Agency hosted seven coordination meetings. To facilitate quick communication among the judicial authorities taking part in the action day, a coordination center was established.
In order to assist the domestic investigators, Europol has been continuously developing and analyzing intelligence. Two of Europol's officers were stationed in Belgium and Italy during the operation to help with real-time coordination between all the partners and ensure quick tactical decisions to change the strategy as needed.
The Ndrangheta and the Sicilian mafia are the subject of EMPACT Operational Action 2.3, the first EMPACT initiative led by the National Antimafia Directorate (Direzione Nazionale Antimafia), which Europol and Eurojust are co-leaders of.

You're totally right. We have some people in the cryptocurrency market that grab good potential and one of the industry-leading cryptocurrencies at the early stage choose to sell early cause they didn't know the importance of the crypto they grab.
It is not easy to fully understand the benefit of cryptocurrency during the early stage of the project launch and i could remember when Ethereum was introduced then a lot of cryptocurrency investors underestimated it.
The same underestimation is currently happening to the Crypton coin of the UtopiaP2P ecosystem and I hope people will be wise enough not to lose the opportunity.

There is the best way to relax the mind mate and I don't see reading or drawing as one because they still consist of things that have to do with your attention instead of calming your nerve. Books give more learning and knowledge not relaxation.

The whole cryptocurrency inside a wallet can be controlled by someone else if they have access to the private keys, including the power to conduct transactions and move money without your consent.
Customers' private keys being kept by centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, which serve as their custodians is the reason people are advised not to use a centralized exchange as storage.
Furthermore, some custody wallets might be hacked. As a result, these custody providers must implement their own security procedures to maintain the privacy of the private keys, which raises the possibility of the keys being stolen or compromised.
