Top Retail Cyber Threats in India

POS Malware & Card Skimming

Malware installed on POS terminals silently copies card data as it's processed. Magecart-style JavaScript skimmers do the same on e-commerce checkout pages — invisible to the customer.

Loyalty Programme Fraud

Credential stuffing attacks drain loyalty points worth thousands of crores annually. Attackers use lists of leaked username/password combos to automatically log into customer reward accounts.

Customer Database Exfiltration

Customer records — mobile numbers, addresses, purchase history, and payment preferences — are sold on dark web markets and used for targeted phishing and social engineering attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you use a PCI-certified payment gateway (like Razorpay or PayU) and never touch card data yourself, your scope is significantly reduced — but not eliminated. You still need to ensure your checkout page isn't compromised by Magecart-style scripts that intercept card data before it reaches the gateway. A WAF and CSP (Content Security Policy) are recommended minimum controls.

Loyalty programmes collect extensive personal data — purchase behaviour, location data, preferences, and financial patterns. Under DPDPA, you need clear consent for each purpose of data processing, the right to erase customer data on request, and robust security controls. Ogma can help audit your loyalty platform's data practices and implement compliant security controls.

Yes. This is precisely where Cato SASE delivers the highest ROI for retail. Instead of deploying firewall hardware at every store (expensive, operationally complex), Cato's cloud-delivered security covers all locations through a single platform with centralised policy management — deployed in days, not months.
