'I was fined for spending six hours in a car park - I was only there 20 minutes!'
A DRIVER has blasted a 'disgusting' fine which claimed he had parked for six hours in a car park - when he had been there for just 20 minutes. Sam Surridge, of Worboys Road, St Johns, was shocked and confused to receive a letter from Euro Car Parks stating he had exceeded the maximum stay at Tybridge Retail Park by several hours and had to pay £100. The 61-year-old said: "They sent a picture of my van leaving the car park which they say was taken at 4.13pm, but it can't be because my van was in my driveway from 10.45am and throughout the afternoon. "They said I was there for five hours and 53 minutes when I couldn't have been there for any more than 20 minutes. "There is no way that photo could have been taken when they say it was taken." Tybridge Retail Park's car park gives visitors up to two hours of free parking. Mr Surridge's Ring doorbell caught him leaving his home at around 10am on Saturday, May 31, before returning at 10.45am, meaning he would have been in the retail park for no more than 45 minutes. Now, he is using his doorbell footage in an attempt to have the parking fine cancelled. "I have appealed my fine and sent them evidence that my van was on my driveway all day," he said. "But the worrying part is what if I did not have a Ring doorbell which captured when I left and came home? "I'm just concerned it will happen to other people." More: More: More: Euro Car Park, the company that issued Mr Surridge's fine, offers a reduced parking charge of £60 if the fine is paid within two weeks being issued. However, it took almost two weeks before he received the notice, giving him just three days to pay or appeal before the fine becomes £100. "I think it is disgusting," Mr Surridge said. "This is either a system error or it is fraud." Euro Car Park has been contacted by Worcester News for a comment but had not responded by the time we went to press.

Threat group linked to UK, US retail attacks now targeting insurance industry
This story was originally published on Cybersecurity Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Cybersecurity Dive newsletter. Hackers linked to a recent string of attacks on U.K. and U.S. retailers are now targeting the insurance industry, according to Google researchers. The attackers, suspected to be part of the collective known as Scattered Spider, have been targeting the retail industry since April and pivoted toward the insurance industry earlier this month, according to Google. Researchers say there are already multiple confirmed incidents at insurance companies. 'Google Threat Intelligence Group is now aware of multiple intrusions in the US which bear all the hallmarks of Scattered Spider activity,' John Hultquist, chief analyst at Google Threat Intelligence Group, said in a statement. 'We are now seeing incidents in the insurance industry. Given this actor's history of focusing on a sector at a time, the insurance industry should be on high alert, especially for social engineering schemes which target their help desks and call centers.' There has been a 'wave of targeting' over the past one and a half weeks, according to Hultquist. Scattered Spider has a history of targeting specific industries in clusters; researchers previously linked it to attacks on MGM Resorts and other casino companies. The threat collective is known to utilize sophisticated social-engineering techniques designed to trick IT help desks and others into bypassing multifactor authentication or otherwise handing over credentials. Mandiant in early May released a hardening guide for security teams focused on Scattered Spider's techniques. Google's disclosure that the group is targeting insurers comes as Erie Insurance investigates a suspected cyberattack that it discovered on June 7. The company said it detected unusual activity and was working with law enforcement and forensic security teams to figure out the cause of a 'network outage' linked to an information-security incident. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it was investigating the full scope and impact of the incident. Neither Erie nor any researcher has blamed the incident on a threat actor yet. The Erie, Pa.-based insurance company operates in 12 states and has more than 7 million active car, home and business policies. The company warned customers that it would not contact them by phone or email to request payments and urged them not to click on links from unknown sources or share personal information with anyone by phone or email.
