The Ministry of Digital Economy has warned the public not to create QR codes using vehicle data that does not belong to them.
Addressing the media on Thursday (26), Ministry Advisor Sumudu Ratnayake further cautioned against cancelling another individual’s QR code and re‑using it under one’s own details.
“We have all the data with us now. We are able to monitor which number was used to override which QR code, at which fuel station it was used, and at what time,” he explained.
Ratnayake added that the Police have already arrested individuals engaged in such practices, using both system data and CCTV footage as evidence. (Newswire)
