Visa’s payment fraud disruption team uncovered recent malware attacks on POS devices used by two North American hospitality companies. In the June incident, three POS malware variants were found on the targeted firm’s network and devices. The malware variants are designed to scrape payment card data from Windows-based POS devices, but each performs its functions differently. The Visa report did not give specifics on the companies targeted, how long these attacks continued. In September, Visa issued a warning to merchants about a digital skimmer called “Baka” that is stealing payment data from e-commerce sites.”]
