Beware of fake websites selling WC tickets
Ridma DISSANAYAKE
Sri Lanka Computer Emergency Response Team (SLCERT) had identified
several fake websites selling ICC World Cup tickets through the
Internet, said SLCERT Senior Information Protection Engineer Rohana
Palliyaguru.
These websites are operated from countries such as India and China.
SLCERT had informed the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team about
these fake websites, he added. He noted that the main aim of these
website operators is stole others' credit card information and their
numbers.
The public should be vigilant when buying World Cup tickets over
Internet, he said.
The public can inform SLCERT if they come across such websites,
Palliyaguru said. He said the SLCERT will file legal action against
these fake websites.
