Two popular American gun stores have been infected.
Two U.S. gun stores, Rainier Arms and Numrich Gun Parts, have reported leaking customer payment information after discovering skimmers on their websites. Online skimmers are written in JS and work just like real skimmers.
Rainier Arms said it began receiving reports of unauthorized payment card activity from its customers as early as December 2021. Upon investigation, on April 21, 2022, the company discovered a skimmer on its website and determined that it was actively collecting customer payment information between June 1, 2021 and January 19, 2022. Rainier Arms sent 46,319 notices to affected clients, copies of which can be found on the Montana Attorney General's online portal.
The same thing happened to Numrich Gun Parts Corporation - the company discovered the skimmer on March 28, 2022 and, during its own investigation, found that the malware stole customer payment data from January 23, 2022 to April 5, 2022. The number of affected customers is 45,169, according to a notice filed with the Maine Attorney General's office, all of whom will receive a data breach notice in the coming days.
Experts recommended that all customers of companies who made purchases during the periods of operation of skimmers should immediately contact their bank with a request to replace the card.
