Quishing fraud<\/h2>\n\n

Pay for a parking ticket - and suddenly your bank details are in the hands of fraudsters. This is exactly what is currently happening in several German cities, including Cologne and Dortmund. The scam: fake QR codes on parking machines that direct unsuspecting drivers to fraudulent websites.<\/p>\n\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n\n

This new form of phishing - also known as \"Quishing<\/strong>\" - uses manipulated QR codes that simulate genuine payment links. Anyone who scans the code ends up on a deceptively genuine but fake payment page where fraudsters steal personal data and bank information. In Dortmund, 90 parking machines have already been stuck with such fake codes - the number of unreported cases could be much higher.<\/p>\n\n

Why is quishing so dangerous?<\/h2>\n\n

Deceptively genuine: Fraudulent websites often look like the originals.
Inconspicuous manipulation: QR code stickers are small and are rarely questioned.
Fast data retrieval: Bank details, login data or credit card information can be stolen in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n\n

Our tip<\/h2>\n\n

Use official payment methods - only buy the parking ticket via the official parking app or directly at the machine.
\u2705 Do not blindly scan QR codes in public places - be particularly careful with payment requests.
\u2705 Check URL - Is the website suspicious or the URL unusual? Better not continue!
\u2705 Regular checks - cities and operators should check their vending machines for manipulated QR codes.<\/p>\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n

QR code fraud is on the rise - not only at parking machines, but also at e-charging stations, public notices and via email. If you want to be safe on the road, you should always make payments via official apps or direct entries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
