If you can not trust a parking ticket....?

So that you do not have to worry about things to worry about...  From the BBC

 

Drivers found the following message on the yellow ticket on their windscreen: "PARKING VIOLATION This vehicle is in violation of standard parking regulations".

The ticket then instructed drivers to visit a website, where drivers could "view pictures with information about your parking preferences".

Hackers website

The website instructed users to download a tool bar containing a virus

According to internet security watchdog The SANS Institute, the website then had photos of cars in various car parks around Grand Forks and instructed users to download a tool bar to find photos of their own vehicle.

 

When you invent a better mouse trap, someone invents a better mouse I guess.
