Shoplifters…every brick and mortar store owner is familiar with them. In the online world, the Magento Shoplift bug is a recent Magento vulnerability reported in late January 2015 that allows attackers to gain control over a store as well as its data using RCE (Remote Code Execution). This simply involves some one hacking your Magento Store and rewriting a core Magento file, so that the hacker can gain access to credit card Information. Hence, it is quite possible that your store might have been affected.
