Visa has seen at least two separate campaigns emerging this past summer that targeted fuel pumps. Researchers attributed the attacks to FIN8, the financially motivated threat group whose typical mode of attack is to steal payment-card data from PoS environments. The group has been active since at least 2016, but appeared to go quiet for a while in late 2017 before emerging again earlier this year with a raft of new tools and new attacks, starting with several in the hotel industry detected in July. Even before Visa s warning of increased attacks, there has been evidence of the rise of fuel pumps as targets for cyber criminals.
