The best cybersecurity practice you can develop is to be skeptical of everything.

You might already be careful with unexpected emails, phone calls and unknown links, especially when someone asks for a password or payment details. That same caution should apply to QR codes, even when they’re printed on something that looks official.

Scammers are taking advantage of how comfortable we’ve become with using them. When you’re scanning a code to pay for parking or open a menu, you’re probably thinking about getting on with your day, rather than checking who put it there.

But someone could have covered the original code with their own. You could then end up on a fake website that looks convincing enough for you to enter your details without realizing anything is wrong.

There are a few things you should check before scanning a code and before entering information on the page it opens. Knowing what to look for can help you spot a scam you might otherwise have missed.

Before you scan a QR code:
Check printed codes for stickers covering the original.
Check who sent emailed codes, especially if the message unexpectedly asks you to log in,
verify an account or reset a password.
See whether you can open the company’s website or app yourself instead.

If you do scan, check the website address before entering passwords or payment details. And don’t download anything you weren’t expecting.

You probably scan QR codes for all sorts of things, from paying for parking to reading a menu or connecting to Wi-Fi.

Scammers use them too, directing people to fake websites that ask for passwords or payment details.

This type of phishing is called quishing, and it can be difficult to spot when you’re in a hurry.

There are a few things you should check before handing over your information.

Never change an employee's payroll bank details using email alone. Call the employee on the number already stored in your HR records or speak to them in person. Have a second person approve the change and record how it was verified.
