Threat picture

Why this sector gets targeted

E-commerce businesses face a barrage of attacks targeting payment flows, customer accounts, and inventory systems. Magecart-style attacks inject malicious JavaScript into checkout pages to skim credit card data. Account takeover campaigns target customer login systems with credential stuffing. Coupon and discount abuse exploits business logic flaws to drain revenue. Supply chain attacks through third-party plugins (payment gateways, analytics, chat widgets) introduce vulnerabilities that store owners never see. PCI-DSS compliance is mandatory for any business handling payment data, and non-compliance can result in fines of $5,000 to $100,000 per month from card brands.

Questions

Asked on almost every call

Shopify handles payment processing securely, but your custom theme code, third-party apps, API integrations, and custom checkout extensions can introduce vulnerabilities. If you are using custom development, headless commerce, or third-party plugins, a security assessment is strongly recommended.

Magecart is a collection of attack groups that inject malicious JavaScript into e-commerce checkout pages to steal payment card data in real time. If your store uses any third-party scripts (analytics, chat, payment widgets), you are potentially vulnerable. Our testing includes client-side security analysis to detect these attack vectors.

Yes. We use test payment credentials, sandbox environments, and controlled test accounts. We validate the security of the checkout logic, payment API calls, and session management without touching live payment data.

We test for multiple application of discount codes, race conditions in coupon redemption, coupon code brute-forcing, price manipulation through API parameter tampering, and logic flaws that allow stacking discounts beyond intended limits.

Your payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, Square) handles their own PCI compliance, but you are still responsible for the security of your application and the environment where cardholder data flows. If card data touches your servers -even briefly -you have PCI obligations. A penetration test helps determine your actual exposure.
