Visa Security Alert to the risk of online chat solutions and non-voice channel services within call centers and merchant online environments, which are expected to increase along with artificial intelligence. There are known instances where threat actors compromised online chat service providers and were able to distribute malware to merchant clients designed to intercept payment card data during checkout.

Read the story here in the Visa library for merchants. https://usa.visa.com/support/merchant/library.html

The Visa alert also points out the importance of verifying your technology partners are secure and compliant. This is especially interesting in the context of this article.

The Visa Global Registry of Service Providers is Visa’s designated source for information on registered and PCI DSS-validated agents that provide payment-related services to Visa clients and merchants. Service providers that store, process or transmit Visa payment data must be registered with Visa and demonstrate PCI DSS compliance.
