Magecart, a tool used by a broad set of hackers to steal online payment data, has been rampant in recent months. The group has allegedly breached popular websites like those of British Airways and Ticketmaster UK by injecting malicious scripts directly or through third-parties to siphon off customer data en masse.

Additional incidents have been discovered, but the original reported exposure was smaller than announced, the company said. The company said on Thursday that it identified an additional window of time when payments were exposed by hackers, and is freshly notifying about 185,000 affected accounts.
