Earlier this month, RAC issued an alert warning UK motorists to be wary of threat actors utilizing QR code stickers luring them to malicious websites. These sites are designed to impersonate parking payment providers to exfiltrate personal data and payment information.
Netcraft has released its latest research diving into the recent surge in QR code parking scams in the UK and through Europe. The research provides insight into the criminals behind the attack while their behaviours and characteristics reveal the scale and strategic approach being used.
Insights include:
- At least two threat groups identified, one of which Netcraft can link to customs tax and postal scams carried out earlier this year.
- Up to 10,000 potential victims identified visiting this group’s phishing websites
- At least 2,000 form submissions, indicating how much personal data has been extracted from victims, including payment information.
- Evidence suggesting the group is running activity across Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.
