Label maker Avery says ransomware investigation also found credit-card scraper


An investigation into a ransomware attack led label-maker Avery Products to also find malware that was skimming credit card details from transactions on its website, according to a data breach notification by the company.

They found that “an unauthorized actor inserted malicious software that was used to ‘scrape’ credit card information used on our website” between July 18, 2024, and January 5, 2025, the company said in letters provided to regulators in Maine. In a letter to Iowa’s attorney general, the company said malware was added to the credit card entry form, allowing the hackers to view and scrape the information entered. Avery Products calls itself the world’s “largest supplier of labels, specialty converted media and software solutions for short-run digital printing applications.” It reported sales of $279 million in Q3 last year.
