Essentially, these scripts are lines of code from outside sources used to make a website interactive. Think of chatbots, newsletter sign-up forms, social media features, marketing monitoring, captchas, advertising, and analytic tools…</p><br><p>One tiny weak spot in one of those third party scripts can cause a big security headache.</p><br><p>Monitoring all these external scripts and keeping users safe is a huge challenge. Website owners have only limited control over the content of those scripts because they are often hosted and managed elsewhere. If a vendor makes a mistake or is unaware of a security vulnerability in their code or infrastructure, that might leave doors and windows open for bad actors.</p><br><p>Adding more scripts also means more potential security gaps to monitor. What is okay today, might be a security incident tomorrow.</p><br><p>Some third party scripts are developed and offered by companies or external consultants that may lack the necessary technical expertise. That makes it harder for website owners to monitor the security of their applications over time, expanding the risk.</p><br><p>Also, marketing automation firms can get acquired by larger firms without their customer noticing. These acquisitions frequently lead to personnel changes. Consequently scripts may go unmonitored as the maintainers are no longer with the company, and the new owner may be unaware of their existence or the associated risk. In the most extreme cases this can lead to a full fledged domain takeover if they forget to renew the domain name used to host a script.</p></div></div><div class="flex flex-col relative my-[32rem] h-auto w-full lg:px-24 px-4 sm:px-12 md:px-6 max-w-most mx-auto"><div class="relative w-full md:w-1/2 bg-black/90 rounded-lg p-10 flex flex-col items-center md:left-0"><h3 class="text-2xl font-semibold font-lato mb-4 text-center">Step 3</h3><h2 class="text-3xl font-semibold font-lato mb-4 text-center">Injecting malicious code</h2><p>Typically, any website these days uses a lot of JavaScript, a programming language to build interactive websites, as well as a dozen or a couple of dozen external scripts.

It shows how a single leaked credential opened up an internal network to various high-end attacks. Today, adoption of security tooling to prevent inbound attacks has never been as high. We're seeing an increase in adoption of security products focussed on supply chain attacks through registries like Node Package Manager (NPM). However browser side third party scripts are often still forgotten about or protected to the bare minimum required by compliance.</p><br><h3 class="font-lato font-semibold text-3xl mt-16 text-center text-balance text-main-800">Could you be next?</h3><br><p>Never say never.

It is never good enough to trust a source and not verify its behavior over time.

Some 3rd party scripts are developed and offered by companies or external consultants that lack the necessary technical expertise. It's important to acknowledge potential risks; some companies may lack adequate preparation to address cyberattacks.</li><li>Monitor the scripts over time using specialized tooling that reviews content, not just the source. A one-time security review is not sufficient for a delivery method that can be fully dynamic.</li><li>Remove services if you no longer need them and do not run scripts on pages unless they serve a purpose there.

But even so, keeping customer data safe is a top priority. And talking about keeping credit card details safe? That's where the new Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard 4.0 (PCI DSS 40) comes in. This is a new set of rules created by the PCI Security Standards Council to keep debit and credit card transactions safe from data theft and fraud.</p><br><p>The PCI DSS 4.0 update requires organizations that take payments online, to maintain an inventory of all system components relevant to PCI DSS.
