The article warns of rising “quishing” (QR code phishing) campaigns targeting EV owners across Europe, where attackers place malicious QR codes over real charging-station codes to redirect victims to fake payment pages and steal card details; it cites reports from the UK, France and Germany, notes the large attack surface (over 600,000 charging points in Europe), mentions claims of signal jamming to force QR use, and provides user-focused mitigation steps such as verifying URLs, using official apps or calling operators, and freezing cards if scammed.
