How hackers fake”404” error page to steal sensitive data

Hackers are faking 404 error pages of online retailer’s websites to hide malicious codes and steal customer’s credit card information. Other attacks methods include concealing code in the HTML image tag’s “onerror” and an image binary to make it appear as the Meta Pixel code snippet, Bleeping Computer reported. Analysis by security researchers found that the hackers behind the campaign have altered the default error page for websites to hide malicious code. While hackers have targeted online stores in the past to steal sensitive user information, the idea of manipulating error pages and the concealment technique is “highly innovative” and something that hasn’t been seen in the past, read Akamai’s report.
