π Cyber Tip Tuesday: think before you scan that QR code.
QR codes are everywhere now, from car park payments to restaurant tables. Scammers know it, and some paste fake codes over the real ones to steal logins and card details.
Three quick checks before you scan:
1οΈβ£ Look first. Check if a sticker has been pasted over the original code.
2οΈβ£ Read the link. After scanning, check that the address matches the business before you open it.
3οΈβ£ Stop at logins. Do not enter passwords or card details on a page you reached by scanning, unless you are sure it is real.
When in doubt, type the website address yourself or ask the staff. Share this with your team. πͺ
