Watch for Abnormal Transactions

A number of things may happen on an eCommerce site that may grab your attention. A series of similar transactions, or a series of $1 transactions, or a series of failed transactions are good reasons to take note and explore.

Hackers and scammers have the ability to buy credit card numbers on the dark web, and will experiment with eCommerce websites to run test transactions. Or, they are probing for vulnerabilities in your website to extract customer information or credit card gateway processing information.

If your credit card gateway sees a series of suspicious transactions, or transaction failures, they will contact you and possibly discontinue credit card processing until you can demonstrate that your organization has taken steps to secure your eCommerce website.

If you are a Luminys customer and see any suspicious credit card activity, immediately contact us so we can help identify and resolve the problem.
