Brinztech Alert: Alleged Admin Access Sale Targets Chilean Company Using Webpay Plus

Dark Web News Analysis
A hacker forum listing has emerged advertising unauthorized administrator access to a Chilean company’s WordPress site. The site is reportedly integrated with Webpay Plus, a local credit card payment gateway. The listing includes access to 85 credit card orders and is being sold via auction format, increasing the likelihood of rapid exploitation.
The threat actor claims full admin privileges, which could allow for data theft, malware injection, site defacement, or manipulation of payment workflows. The mention of “Chile Credit Card Webpay Plus payment method” suggests a potential vulnerability in the gateway’s integration or configuration.

🔍 Key Cybersecurity Insights

• Full Site Compromise Risk: Admin access to a WordPress site enables complete control, including plugin manipulation, data exfiltration, and malicious code deployment.
• Financial Fraud Exposure: Access to 85 credit card orders without subscriptions poses a direct risk of identity theft and unauthorized transactions.
• Payment Gateway Vulnerability: The reference to Webpay Plus may indicate a flaw in the payment integration, potentially exposing sensitive financial data.
• Auction Format Escalation: Multiple potential buyers increase the urgency of response, as the access could be exploited by various actors simultaneously.

🛡️ Mitigation Strategies
Organizations using WordPress and Webpay Plus should act immediately:

• Investigate and Validate the Compromise: Review access logs, admin activity, and payment gateway configurations for signs of unauthorized access.
• Alert Authorities and Service Providers: Notify Chilean cybersecurity authorities and Webpay Plus about the potential breach and coordinate response efforts.
• Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Apply MFA to all administrator accounts and conduct regular security audits of the WordPress environment.
• Notify Affected Customers: Inform customers of the potential fraud risk and advise them to monitor their credit card activity and report suspicious transactions.
