NEW YORK—Forget credit card data heists, consumers need to be wary of "formjacking.”
Cybercriminals are increasingly hijacking online forms such as login pages and shopping carts as they hunt for personal financial information, according to new research from F5 Labs.
The firm's Application Report 2019 examined 760 breach reports to discover that formjacking, which collects data from a user's web browser and then moves it to an attacker-controlled location, remains one of the most common attack tactics on the web.
According to F5 Labs data, this attack method was responsible for 71% of all analyzed web-related data breaches throughout 2018, Tech Radar reported.
