Network Solutions e-commerce services were hacked for 3 months and was recently exposed

Network Solutions is one of the leading providers of web hosting and e-commerce services, and recently released information regarding a 3-month hack.

Apparently, hackers placed code on Network Solution’s server that diverted credit and debit card transactions from their merchants’ sites to a rogue server, leaving over 500,000 numbers at risk. This was found to have been happening back to mid-March, allowing hackers to hack small business websites and receive credit and debit card numbers straight to their own server. Although the data breach was discovered in early June, the code was just recently cracked and removed from the Network Solutions server.

Network Solutions is offering its customers free fraud-monitoring services to their customers for one year, and is also offering to pay for merchants to notify their customers of the breach. This is required by law in most states.

Network Solutions is working with authorities to investigate the situation, and all those who have been affected are encouraged to visit the website created for this incident at careandprotect.com
