Over 100,000 Oregon Zoo visitors warned that their payment card details were stolen in security breach

The Oregon Zoo experienced a significant data breach where a skimming attack allowed hackers to steal sensitive payment card information from over 117,000 ticket purchasers.

The attack exploited a vulnerability in the ticketing system, redirecting transactions through malicious scripts that captured complete payment card information, including CVV and expiration dates.

This incident highlights the growing trend of skimming attacks, which can bypass traditional security protocols, raising concerns about the effectiveness of common data protection measures.

Despite the breach, many companies continue to struggle with safeguarding sensitive payment information, as seen in previous similar incidents affecting organizations like Ticketmaster and British Airways.
