Advent drink in Brigittenau: Profits, networks and beware of fraud!
The upcoming after-work Advent drink in Brigittenau promises not only an opportunity for networking, but also for a pleasant exchange among the companies in the Leopoldstadt and Brigittenau districts. On Thursday, December 11, 2025, participants have the opportunity to meet in the pub at Obere Augartenstraße 1A from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Registration is possible until Tuesday, December 8, 2025. Friendly companies are also warmly invited, and the link to the invitation can be forwarded at any time. The Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO) recommends bringing business cards with you to promote business exchange reports the WKO.
However, in anticipation of this event, there is an important note: the WKO warns against fraudulent emails that are sent in the name of the organization. Criminals use spoofing to make it appear that an email actually came from the WKO. These emails often contain information about alleged chamber fees and payment deadlines, with the sender address only slightly changed. If you don't look closely, you could easily fall for the deception warns the Watchlist Internet.
Tips for recognizing phishing emails
The difficulties that can arise from such attempted fraud are significant. A typical feature is that the fake emails often contain the correct contact details of the WKO management in order to increase the degree of authenticity. When the email is then opened, there is usually an attachment containing a request to enter sensitive data - often on a virtually identically designed but fake website informs the online security portal.
Here are some practical tips to ensure you don't fall victim to a phishing attack:
- Überprüfen Sie stets den Absender von E-Mails.
- Vergleichen Sie verdächtige E-Mails mit echten Nachrichten der WKO.
- Bei Unsicherheiten sollten Sie direkt Kontakt mit vermeintlichen Absendern aufnehmen.
