Magento, an eBay-owned company e-commerce platform provider, is pushing customers to install a security update that fixes a flaw that's come under attack by hackers after security researchers released details about the bug last week.
Security firm Check Point on Monday April 20 detailed a remotely exploitable bug that it had reported to Magento in January. Magento released a fix for the bug on February 9 under the "SUPEE-5344" update and says it had told customers then about the flaw. However, on Friday, following further reports the bug was being exploited, Magento issued another warning that reminded customers they should install the update.
Check Point's report on Monday included proof of concept attack code, which disclosed the basics of what would be required for an attacker to exploit the bug. Another security firm, Sucuri, found evidence that hackers were attempting to exploit the bug within 24 hours of Check Point's report being published by scanning for installations that hadn't applied the update.
The Magento bug affects up to 200,000 e-commerce sites and more notably sites that are designed to take customer credit card numbers.
Attempted attacks on potentially vulnerable sites rose after Check Point's disclosure, according to Sucuri, which had been pre-notified of Check Point's report and warned ahead of its release that "the severity of this issue cannot be understated," urging anyone using Magento to update immediately.
The attacks were coming from two Russian IP addresses, and were found to be injecting malicious SQL commands into input fields on a range of e-commerce sites in search of those running outdated versions of Magento, according to Sucuri.
The Friday post by Magento was the first time it acknowledged the issue on its blog, however it said that on February 9 it recommended merchants to update, and did so again to merchants and partners on April 16 — that is, ahead of Check Point's disclosure.
Magento also issued an update for website application firewall (WAF) providers on the weekend. Website optimisation firm CloudFlare on Saturday said all customers using its WAF "needs to click the ON button next to the "CloudFlare Magento" Group in the WAF Settings to enable protection immediately."
Magento has provided links to its update for the community and the enterprise versions of its product via its support pages. Vulnerable versions include 1.9.1.0 Community Edition and 1.14.1.0 Enterprise Edition.

WTA suspends China events after Peng Shuai sexual assault allegations
The Women's Tennis Association has suspended all tournaments in China, including Hong Kong, after former doubles No. 1 player and three-time Olympian Peng Shuai accused a high-ranking official of the Chinese Communist Party of sexual assault.
Since then, the knowledge of Shuai's whereabouts have been sporadic, and her virtual meeting with the International Olympic Committee last week did little to assure the WTA and the international community of her safety.
"The (WTA) recognized that Peng Shuai's message had to be listened to and taken seriously. The players of the WTA, not to mention women around the world, deserve nothing less," WTA chairman and CEO Steve Simon said in a statement announcing the decision, which he said carried the full support of the WTA board of directors.
"I very much regret it has come to this point. The tennis communities in China and Hong Kong are full of great people with whom we have worked for many years. They should be proud of their achievements, hospitality and success. However, unless China takes the steps we have asked for, we cannot put our players and staff at risk by holding events in China. China's leaders have left the WTA with no choice. I remain hopeful that our pleas will be heard and the Chinese authorities will take steps to legitimately address this issue."
On Nov. 2, Shuai made a since-deleted post that alleged a former member of the ruling party's Standing Committee Zhang Gaoli, who helped secure the upcoming Winter Olympics for Beijing 2022 and assisted in organizing the Games, forced her to have sex despite repeated refusals.
The WTA immediately voiced its concern and said her message through state-run media saying that she was OK, despite nearly two weeks of silence, was not sufficient proof of her safety. Meanwhile, the IOC stepped aside and gave its approval of the Chinese government's actions.
"Peng Shuai demonstrated the importance of speaking out, particularly when it comes to sexual assault, and especially when powerful people are involved," Simon said. "As Peng said in her post, 'even if it is like an egg hitting a rock, or if I am like a moth drawn to the flame, inviting self-destruction, I will tell the truth about you.' She knew the dangers she would face, yet she went public anyway. I admire her strength and courage."
Simon said he has been "gratified" by the international support behind pulling out of China and encouraged women "throughout the world" to speak out against abuse.
"It is more urgent than ever," the statement read.
"The WTA will do everything possible to protect its players. As we do so, I hope leaders around the world will continue to speak out so justice can be done for Peng, and all women, no matter the financial ramifications."

Over an extended involvement in the photographic industry, commencing just before the introduction of the Kodak Disc camera back in 19 I've forgotten, the last 12 months or so have been the most mind-dumbingly boring I can recall. ( And that includes working for Kodak for 12 years!) Little in the way of real technological innovation has come our way – with even Sony easing off on new gear. Innovation's sickly little sibling, iteration, has also been a seldom seen kid.
But it turns out most of the major players in photography haven't lost their mojo, they've just been keeping their cards close to their chests. Now there's a veritable wave of innovation on show at Photokina in Cologne. They come and go, these Photokina exhibitions, and not all are worth the air ticket. This year looks like a game-changer.
The most exciting outcome stemming from the plethora of new camera and lenses, technology announcements and new alliances from the likes of Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, Phase One, Panasonic, Sigma and Leica is that for the first time since the start of the digital photography era, we will see real competition in the industry. Since the introduction of digital cameras, we have had a series of little duopolies, like Canon and Nikon in DSLRs, and Olympus and Panasonic in M43.
Will the entry of more players in the 35mm camera segment put pressure on other formats?
Whatever segment you were interested in – APS-C format DSLRs, say, or Micro 4/3 mirrorless, or full-frame DSLR, the options were limited to one, two or at most three brands. We effectively had a series of micro markets for cameras, whereas back in the film era, 35mm photography was king.
The unmatchable advantage a 35mm format digital – and film – cameras have over smaller formats is greater control of depth of field. It may well be a large part of the reason for the revived interest in 35mm film photography. It's not just a hipster affectation; the photographer has more creative control. For the last decade or so we've pretended that's no big deal, finding new techniques and workarounds to make get the most out of the smaller formats, but we've been fooling ourselves.
Small-sensor format cameras have been developed over the last decade or so not because they were superior to full frame sensors, but because full-frame sensors were simply too expensive to put into consumer cameras. We had to wait until the cost of manufacturing these incredibly elaborately transformed technological miracles was low enough for them to be viable in anything less than high-end professional tools. We clearly have Sony to thank for taking the lead in sensor technology.
Sure, Micro 4/3, APS-C and even 1-inch sensors enable the manufacture of more compact cameras, but the size of, say, a Sony full-frame mirrorless seems about right size for a serious hand-held camera. Much smaller and the dials and switches get fiddly and the camera less suited to larger, or older, hands. Full-frame DSLRs, on the other hand, with their mirror mechanisms and chunkier lenses can become a bit of a millstone around the neck – even with a Black Rapid neoprene strap!
Sony's latest EVF has 5.6 million dots for 1600×1200 resolution.
Mirror mechanisms – who needs 'em? Along with full format sensors, the other critical piece of technology we have all been waiting to catch up with our needs has been electronic viewfinders. Pentaprisms made the portable single lens reflex camera possible back in the day. They were a technological breakthrough in the 1930s, but in the digital era they are a legacy technology hanging around until electronic viewfinders, with their clear advantage of 'always on' live view, no moving parts, and lack of bulk and weight, became a viable alternative. That time has come.
In May Sony announced an OLED electronic viewfinder display with a resolution of 5.6 million dots and a refresh rate of 240 fps, double that of current EVFs.
In August there was one company with mirrorless full frame cameras. In the coming months Sony, Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, and Leica will all be competing in the full-frame mirrorless market, while Fujifilm is even trying to present it's latest light-weight medium format mirrorless, the GFX 50R, as an economy-sized full-frame camera. Sigma is rumoured to be preparing to enter the fray as well with its Foveon sensor technology.
While prices for these new cameras are still a tad high for most consumers, early adoptors will enthusiastically embrace the new levels of choice they will be offered. It's inevitable that prices will drop, and every new entry level full frame mirrorless camera will be more affordable than the last. Competition will lead to increased demand, which will contribute to improved economies of scale at sensor and EVF fabrication plants.
This will in turn negatively impact the market for small-sensor interchangeable lens cameras, both DSLR and mirrorless. It could well be that, except for some niche applications, such as Panasonic cameras with there clear superiority shooting high quality video, the era of APS-C and Micro 43 cameras will draw to a close much faster than we might anticipate.
Even lens specialist Zeiss has entered the full-frame jamboree with its first ever camera – the 37-megapixel Zeiss ZX1.
The other competitive dynamic which can only be good for photographers is lens manufacturers such as Sigma and Tamron and new brands from Korea and even China going upmarket to compete with the camera brands. With high-performance, wide-aperture primes and zooms from Sigma in particular at around half the price of their Canon, Nikon and now Sony equivalents, photographers on a budget now have a choice, and the competitive pressures will also serve to moderate the camera maker's high-end lens prices.
All in all, 2019 is shaping up as a great year to buy some new camera gear!

Phillip Cocu delivers honest verdict as Derby County struggle at Blackburn
Derby County suffered a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers in their latest clash in the Sky Bet Championship

Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from DerbyshireLive - Weekday Derby County FC
MINI MATCH REPORT
Derby County's awful away form continued at Ewood Park this afternoon.
They lost 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers - the Rams fifth consecutive defeat on the road.
And they failed to score again.
They are now without an away goal in the League in 497 minutes - more than eight hours.
Bradley Dack was involved in most of Rovers' best moments in the first half.
He sent a low drive flashing beyond the far post and then hit a rising drive over after sparking a good move.
Rovers' striker Danny Graham headed into the side netting at the near post.
Derby struggled for any rhythm in the opening 45 minutes. When they did have the ball, they gave it away cheaply but got to half time with the contest goalless, which is never a bad thing as the away side or when your away form is poor.
Derby continued to labour in the second half and Rovers took the lead after 57 minutes when Armstrong's rasping rising drive from 20 yards beat Hamer.
It proved to be the only goal of the game and Derby return home empty-handed again although Rams substitute Jack Marriott was denied a late equaliser by Christian Walton fine save.

MANAGER VERDICT
Derby County suffered a fifth consecutive away defeat this afternoon.
They fell 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, Adan Armstrong scoring the only goal of he game in the second half.
Here's what Rams boss Phillip Cocu said when asked about the poor away form.
"It is nothing new. We struggle creating and taking shots on target
"We had a slightly different approach today. We wanted to stay in the game as long as possible, so it was more compact especially against a team that likes to play transition when they win the ball."
FAN REACTION
Derby County's abysmal away form continued on Saturday as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers .
The Rams ' were undone by a second half goal from Adam Armstrong in their trip to Ewood Park, and have now dropped to 16th place in the Sky Bet Championship table.
The defeat in Lancashire means that Derby have lost their last five matches on the road, failing to score in any of them and are without an away goal in the league in 497 minutes - more than eight hours.
After the game, Rams fans took to social media to express their thoughts and emotions on the result and their side's performance.
Here is a selection of what they had to say.
Curtis Davies
