The City of Peer has received a report of a security incident involving an external supplier that assists with the processing of GAS 5 fines and digital certificates.

The supplier is involved in processing GAS 5 fines and digitally signing certificates, such as proof of family composition. The City of Peer takes the incident seriously and has reported it to the relevant authorities.
Residents are proactively asked to be extra vigilant for suspicious emails, text messages, phone calls, and payment requests. They should not click on links in unexpected messages and never share personal data, passwords, or codes.
For GAS 5 fines, payment details should always be verified. The only correct account number is BE19 0910 1717 7012. Messages in eBox should be accessed directly through the official My eBox environment or a trusted application.
Alertness is advised when unexpectedly contacted about a certificate requested from the City of Peer. If in doubt about a message from the City of Peer, it is recommended to contact them directly using official contact details, not via a link or phone number from the suspicious message.
The advice in case of doubt is: do not respond, do not click, and do not pay. Verify first. The City of Peer is continuing to monitor the situation with the involved parties.
