QR Code Fraud
QR code fraud
noun
  1. form of cybercrime where criminals (attempt to) steal your data by having you scan a Quick Response (QR) code

Are you at risk? How to protect yourself.
QR interactions have grown 94% over the last three years, with an estimated 5.3 billion QR coupon redemptions projected in 2022.  

QR codes provide quick access to specific websites or products (for example restaurant menus), but they can also lead to dangerous phishing schemes or infected websites.

In QR code fraud, the goal is almost always the same—to get you to navigate to a website where cybercriminals can steal your data, money or both.

However, there are many ways to protect you from these cybercriminals, beginning with only scanning QR codes you are sure are directing you to a trusted site.
