 Canada Computers Site Allegedly Hit with Credit Card Skimmer Some users on Reddit are alleging that the Canada Computers checkout page was infected with keylogger malware that skims your credit card information during the checkout process.   Quotes Quote A Reddit user says a card skimmer was injected into the Canada Computers online store checkout flow. According to the post, a Magecart-style script that collected payment and billing details entered on the page and sent the data to an external domain. The user said the script was obfuscated and loaded from CodePen through a disguised Google Analytics tag. The post also claims the loader only ran on the payment step, then removed itself and cleared the browser console after loading.   My thoughts So far from reading the thread, it appears Canada Computers just removed the skimmer, but has so far refused to comment or respond to tickets or phone calls about the incident.   The script per the Reddit thread appears to have been on the Canada Computers checkout page since early December 2025, so if you had shopped at Canada Computers online from December 2025 to today, you should check your bank statements carefully and request new card numbers due to the potential of unauthorized transactions.   Sources https://videocardz.com/newz/redditor-discovers-card-skimmer-script-on-canadian-retailer-checkout-page https://mobilesyrup.com/2026/01/23/canada-computers-website-malware-credit-cards-stolen-report/   The actual Reddit thread where this is being discussed is here:
