Pecq : la Commune alerte sur une cyberattaque visant un prestataire

Commune de Pecq

The Municipality of Pecq has been informed that one of its service providers was the victim of a cyberattack, leading to the theft of data concerning some municipal staff members.

To date, no direct impact on municipal services has been observed. However, this information could be used by malicious individuals to attempt to send fraudulent emails by impersonating the Municipality or one of its agents.
A few simple reflexes can help protect yourself: always check the sender's email address. Fraudsters often use similar addresses to deceive their victims. Official emails from the Municipality of Pecq always end with @pecq.be. The Municipality will never ask you, by email, to make a payment or sign a document online via a link received by email.
If in doubt, it is advised not to click on any links, open any attachments, and to contact the Municipality directly via informatique@pecq.be. It is also recommended to forward any suspicious emails.
The Municipality thanks citizens for their vigilance and remains available for any questions.
