Industry Challenges & Security Risks

REF · OIU-RTL-THREAT-MODEL

Card Data Moves Through Dozens of Hands Before It Settles

Every transaction passes through a checkout flow, a payment gateway, and a chain of third-party integrations, and each handoff is a place a financially motivated attacker tries to skim it.

[01]

Payment Card Data Theft

Point-of-sale systems, payment gateways, and checkout flows are targeted to steal credit card data at scale.

[02]

Account Takeover & Credential Stuffing

Customer accounts are hijacked using stolen credentials, enabling fraudulent purchases and loyalty point theft.

[03]

E-Commerce Platform Vulnerabilities

Complex e-commerce platforms with hundreds of integrations create attack surfaces for injection, SSRF, and business logic abuse.

[04]

Supply Chain & Vendor Risks

Third-party plugins, shipping integrations, and vendor access create backdoor entry points into retail systems.

[05]

Loyalty Program & Gift Card Fraud

Weak API protections on loyalty programs and gift card systems enable mass exploitation and financial loss.
