We are all already accustomed to distinguishing classic fraud schemes in everyday and work life. However, progress does not stand still - to our common regret. QR codes have long and firmly entered our lives.
With their help, we pay for purchases, go to websites, scan milk at the checkout, use rental services. Some even transfer business cards via QR code.
In other words, wherever we go, we are met by this square with black pixels, designed to save our time.
It has a number of advantages over a standard link, which is easy to check even at first glance:
It is unlikely that you will be able to completely abandon QR codes (and you don’t need to), but here are a few simple rules:
1. Check the address of the website the QR code leads to. Look for red flags: strange domains, spelling errors, substitution of letters (for example, the letter "o" for the number "0").
2. Compare the content with expectations. For example, if the code promised a survey, it is logical to see a form with questions. If a strange site opens instead, it is better to close it immediately. Even if the site does not raise suspicions, remember: it can be a high-quality fake. Check the address. (By the way, we wrote [how to recognize a fake site] - insert the link).
3. Don't download apps using a QR code. Find them manually in the official store - Google Play, App Store, etc. Installing from third-party sources is always a risk.
4. Use reliable protection. Install an antivirus or an app with a QR scanner that checks links inside the code.
