Over the weekend, Sanguine Security discovered an automated Magecart campaign that managed to inject 962 e-commerce stores with payment card skimming malware within a 24-hour timeframe. Magecart is an umbrella term for various criminal groups that attack web shops with the aim of injecting them with this kind of malware.
