The Hippie Boat On Wheels
Our 2025 trading season is now over, but you can find us online at www.thehippieboatonwheels.co.uk until we hit the road again in April 2026
Unfortunately I have had to temporarily disable PayPal on our website as we have been the victim of a Card Testing Attack, which has been very frustrating as I have had to remove literally hundreds of failed payments 😩 I have been trying to resolve the issue since yesterday, without success and have now identified the payment route being used to make the attack is Paypal. I have downloaded ‘cloudfare Turnstile’, but I don’t think that it is working, so I need to wait until Monday when I will be able to access more expert help from Niki. I will endeavour to enable Paypal again asap, but in the meantime, all other payment options are available. If anyone is wondering what a card testing attack is, here is an extract from an article I sourced online:![]()
“Card testing is a type of fraud where the someone obtains a large amount of stolen credit card data, and then attempts to determine which of those cards are valid. Typically, these fraudulent attempts involve making a multiple low-value purchases, each with a different card, to avoid detection by cardholders or banks. If the purchase is successful, the attacker learns that the card is valid, allowing them to sell the card data as “validated” for higher prices, or to use it for larger fraudulent purchases”.
