Hackers hover near online shopping carts, too. It's called e-skimming

We all know we need to be on the lookout for skimming devices that crooks install at the ATM or at the pump at gas stations. We now have to watch out for hackers online when we are shopping. The hackers are trying to steal our credit card and debit card information. So they can steal your money. This is not a good thing obviously.  Cyber criminals are getting our data in real time, which can make that information more valuable in the underground market. "It's fresh credit card data that's being exfiltrated," said an FBI special agent on the cyber task force. So, overall this is not a good thing and bad for the credit card and you.
