Release Date: 14 Nov 2025
Phishing Alert
Current Status and Related Trends
Recently, mickmick.net has identified phishing websites impersonating government platforms, including the eTraffic Ticket Platform and HKeToll. These phishing websites use pages that closely resemble official websites, tricking citizens into believing they are legitimate platforms and deceiving users into entering personal information and credit card details.
Important: Official Government Website Domains Must End with .gov.hk
- HKeToll Official Website:
- eTraffic Ticket Platform Official Website: (All electronic Fixed Penalty Notices "FPNs" SMS messages will only be issued from "#HKPF-eTT". Please note that the FPNs, whether issued via SMS messages or email, will never contain any hyperlinks.)
The following is recent examples of phishing URLs reported by mickmick.net:
Fake eTraffic Ticket Platform:

- After clicking the phishing link, users are redirected to a counterfeit “Verify/Pay Ticket” page.
- Users enter their vehicle number and click “Verify/Pay,” then see a fake fine amount.
- Clicking “Pay” leads to a page requesting credit card number, cardholder name, expiry date, and CVV, enabling scammers to steal financial information.
Fake HKeToll Website:


- After clicking the phishing link, users see a fake login page (two versions have been reported recently).

- Users enter their vehicle registration mark or email/phone number, then see a payment amount. Clicking “Pay” prompts users to enter credit card details (number, name, expiry date, CVV), which are then stolen.
mickmick.net urges the public to increase their awareness of cybersecurity and recommends that Internet users should:
- If you have provided personal information to these websites, call 18222 to contact the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre of the Hong Kong Police Force.
- For inquiries about the eTraffic Ticket Platform, call 181 181.
- For inquiries about HKeToll, call 3853 7333.
- Check the URL: The URL of a phishing website is usually similar to the real website, but there will be slight differences, such as misspellings or using a different domain name. Users should double check the URL to ensure it is correct.
- Avoid clicking on unknown links: Don’t click on random links from unknown sources, especially links you receive in email or on social media. Do not log in to unknown websites, or provide personal information.
- Pay attention to security certificates: Although phishing websites can also use the HTTPS protocol, users should still check the security lock symbol in the browser address bar and ensure that the certificate information matches the website.
- Watch out for suspicious content: Phishing websites may contain misspellings, grammatical errors, or inconsistent design elements. These are potential warning signs.
- Use anti-phishing tools: Use the free search engine “Scameter” of Cyberdefender.hk to identify fraud and network traps by checking website addresses and IP addresses.
- Implement SMS spam blocking on devices:
for Android phone, go to Settings > SMS Spam Recognition.
for IOS phone, go to Settings > Messages > Unknown & Spam. - Update software regularly: Ensure operating systems and applications are kept up to date to prevent known vulnerabilities from being exploited.
- Enable multi-factor authentication: Enable multi-factor authentication for important accounts to add an extra layer of security.
- Education and training: Companies should provide regular cybersecurity training to employees to improve their awareness of prevention.
- Monitor account activity: Regularly check the activity of bank accounts and other important accounts to detect suspicious behavior early.
- Back up important data: Back up important data regularly to prevent data loss due to phishing attacks or other cyber threats.
