The RiskIQ story now has enough credibility that the BBC is reporting it. The BBC's report is more clearly written than RiskIQ's link above.

Summary:
A cyber-security firm has said it found malicious code injected into the British Airways website, which could be the cause of a recent data breach that affected 380,000 transactions. A RiskIQ researcher analysed code from BA's website and app around the time when the breach began, in late August. He claimed to have discovered evidence of a "skimming" script designed to steal financial data from online payment forms. BA said it was unable to comment.
