Beware of Suspicious QR Codes
QR phishing, or "quishing," uses malicious QR codes to trick users into revealing sensitive information. Scanned with smartphones, these codes direct victims to fake websites mimicking legitimate ones. Cybercriminals distribute them in high-traffic areas or emails. To protect yourself, verify the source before scanning, check for HTTPS encryption, use trusted QR scanner apps, and stay vigilant. Always double-check before scanning!
