Only a small amount of customer data was leaked
According to Easypark, only a few customers are affected. For the stolen data, the service provider states that the contact information, such as name, telephone number, address and/or email address) was stolen. Of the account details, only parts of the numbers were probably tapped. Easypark says: “If you pay for a parking transaction with a credit card/debit card or IBAN, some digits of the card you have chosen will be displayed. This partial information was accessed. However, it is not possible to make payments using this incomplete information…No combination of this stolen data can be used to make payments.”
By stealing personal data, Easypark explicitly warns of further phishing attacks. The company provides those affected with further answers via a few FAQs. The most important one: “How do I know if I am affected?”. Customers who want to know the answer should open their app. There, a banner informs them whether they are among the victims.
It is currently not clear who carried out the attack on the service provider Easypark. There is no information to be found on the leak pages of the various attack groups.
