Cancer Research UK customers have been targeted by the same Russian hackers behind recent cyber attacks on Ticketmaster and British Airways. Magecart, an anonymous group of cyber criminals, attempted to steal the card details of people buying gifts through the charity's website, cyber security experts at consultancy RiskIQ said. The hackers reportedly planted malicious code into the online store, which was designed to copy the credit card details of customers. A spokesperson confirmed that the store was hacked in June 2016, but said no credit card details were stolen.
