An online retailer reported unauthorized access to its merchant account, resulting in over $33,000 in losses. The incident exposed critical vulnerabilities in payment platform security. The affected business is now urging other small-to-medium merchants to immediately audit their account access logs, enable multi-factor authentication, review recent transaction histories, and monitor for suspicious login attempts. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting less-protected merchant accounts. Check your credentials, rotate passwords regularly, and don't share admin access unnecessarily. If you notice unauthorized activity, contact your payment provider's security team without delay.
