How do the fraudsters operate?

The attackers identified by the Federal Office for Cybersecurity injected malicious code into the legitimate website of the affected provider. This code replaced the original payment method, Twint, with a fake option for“credit card payments”. If customers selected this option, a pop-up window would open for them to enter their card details. According to the Federal Office for Cybersecurity, it was striking that the text was in English, even though the rest of the page was in German.

The details entered were transmitted directly to the fraudsters. To avoid arousing suspicion, an error message then appeared. This stated that the credit card payment was still in a test phase and that customers should use Twint instead.
