Stop List module can help you to protect your store from an external attack involving usage of stolen credit cards. It allows you to create a list of IP addresses supposedly used by holders of stolen credit cards. Customers using IP addresses stored in the Stop List are blocked on the Checkout page.
Note. Stop List module can be enabled via the 'Modules' section of the admin interface.
To access the 'Stop list' section, click on Stop list in the Management menu.
Before you enter any IP addresses to the Stop list, it is empty.
