Bogotá's Secretaría Distrital de Movilidad, the city's mobility department, confirmed on Tuesday, November 3 a cybersecurity attack on the Pico y Placa Solidario platform, according to El Tiempo. It is the website where drivers pay for a permit to drive on the days when their vehicle is restricted.
According to information from the mayor's office reported by Semana, the incident occurred on the website, security protocols were activated to contain it and the impact was limited to that platform. Technical teams are still assessing the extent of the damage.
The service remains available, according to both outlets. Semana reports the current permit fees: 70,294 pesos for one day, 561,808 for one month and 2,809,311 for six months.
The department asks users to complete the process only at movilidadbogota.gov.co, to check that the address ends in .gov.co before providing data or paying, and not to open links received by SMS, social media or messaging apps that do not come from official channels.
The sources do not say whether users' personal or payment data has been exposed or who is behind the attack.
This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
