EnergyVision Temporarily Disables Ad Hoc Payments at Public Charging Stations Due to Fraudulent Activity Involving QR Codes

The energy company EnergyVision, which specializes in supplying solar panels and charging stations, has temporarily disabled ad hoc payments via QR codes at public charging points due to fraudulent activity involving QR stickers. This was announced by the company via social media, where they urged customers to use charging cards for secure payments and advised those who recently used QR codes to contact their bank. According to reports, about a hundred individuals fell victim to the fraud, losing 300 euros each.

Maarten Michielssens, CEO of EnergyVision, stated that only a small percentage of customers use QR codes for payments, with the majority opting for charging cards. The company has filed a complaint regarding the incident, which involved fraudulent QR codes pasted on charging stations at around twenty locations. When scanned, the codes directed users to a payment page where 300 euros were deducted from their account before displaying an error message. Users were then redirected to the correct payment page, allowing them to successfully pay again without realizing they had been deceived.

Meanwhile, there have been reports of a list of domain names related to various topics such as casinos and gaming being displayed online. Additionally, an error message regarding certificate verification is shown among the listings. It remains unclear what caused this issue or how it can be resolved.
