A family-run printing company in Calgary is scrambling to rebuild its reputation and clientele after being targeted by a sophisticated scam.
Little Rock Printing was first notified about fraudulent credit card activity back at the start of the year. Company president Brian Kroeker said his team and an outside consultant quickly started an investigation into the company’s ecommerce website and decided to do a complete overhaul.
“Built a brand new site, launched it in March — great,” Kroeker told Global News. “Solved the problems.”
Turns out, he was too optimistic and the scammers were too quick. In the middle of the overhaul, Kroeker said the scammers were able to still infiltrate the system.
“They (scammers) had placed an order and dropped a PNG file in as an order and it had malware on it,” he explained. “They went in for a second and they skimmed data for that three-week period that we weren’t offline yet. They did a quick skim and left.”
“It was like a quick in and out.”
