The National Cyber Directorate warns of fraudulent SMS messages that appear within genuine Pango message threads. The messages lead to a fake website designed to steal personal details. The public is advised not to click links and to verify payment requests via the official app or website.
The National Cyber Directorate issued a warning Monday morning about a phishing campaign impersonating the Pango parking payment app. The fraudulent messages appear within the legitimate SMS thread from Pango, making them harder to detect. The directorate advises recipients to avoid clicking any links and to independently verify payment requests through the official app or website. Anyone suspecting a cyber incident is urged to contact the national hotline at 119. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar phishing warnings from the directorate, including a Bamba promotion scam and a traffic fines scam.
