As QR codes become ubiquitous, they have also become a target for bad actors. 'Quishing' (QR Phishing) involves replacing legitimate QR codes with malicious ones to steal personal data or install malware. However, with a few simple precautions, you can scan with confidence.

Top Tips for Secure Scanning

  1. Inspect the physical code: Look for stickers placed over original codes on posters or menus.
  2. Preview the URL: Use a scanner that shows the destination link before opening it in your browser.
  3. Check for HTTPS: Only enter sensitive information on websites with a valid SSL certificate.
  4. Avoid scanning codes from unsolicited emails: Treat them with the same suspicion as traditional phishing links.
