Quote:A previously unknown hacker group is behind a mounting number of breaches that have been reported by local governments across the US.

In a report published today, US cyber-security vendor FireEye has revealed that this yet-to-be-identified hacker group has been breaking into Click2Gov servers and planting malware that stole payment card details.

Click2Gov is a popular self-hosted payments solution, a product of US software supplier Superion. It is sold primarily to US local governments, and you can find a Click2Gov server installed anywhere from small towns to large metropolitan areas, where it's used to handle payments for utility bills, permits, fines, and more.
