In the past week Ive had credit card being used online for £500 and my website has been hacked.

The credit card has only ever left the safe for one online transaction. Its never been taken out of the building or swiped.

In the office we have 7 computers all networked together.

Last week I was uploading files to my new website on one of the computers and a couple of days later someone had gotten hold of my password and uploaded a dodgy script.

Ive just scanned this computer with malwarebytes and its shown up 108 infected files. 6 Backdoor.bots aslong as various trojans etc etc.

However the credit card was used onthe computer next to this infected one (Ive just scanned and its clean), basically what I want to know is could my card details have been scanned on this uninfected computer via the network?

:(
 
First of all how are the machines networked together? Are they on a domain or simply on the same local network? If he has domain administrator credentials then he can pretty much do what he wants. Similarly if the machines have a weak local administrator password and a slack security policy then he can just pick them off.

In regards to "sniffing" the credit card details off the network then the answer would be no, as providing you were using a secure site the information would have been encrypted. It is much more likely there is some kind of keylogger installed. You say the machine in question has come up "clean", but you can't know with much certainty if the whole network is in question. The malware on it may either be hiding itself or simply be a homebrew trojan/keylogger that there are no signatures for.

Sounds like you have some work to do anyway. Do you have a dedicated IT guy/department?
 
Thanks for that reply. Yes we do he's juat away this week so can't contact him. Just going to stop using any cards until he gets back. Thanks for that, as a coincidence the card has just been used again for £100 after the bank told us it had been cancelled. :mad:

Edit : Im not really sure how they are networked to be honest..
