Security in QR Code Payments: Risks and Precautions
💡 Quick Tip
Scanning a QR code seems harmless, but it can be a "Quishing" trap. Learn to verify links before opening them.
The Rise of Quishing
Criminals overlay fake QR stickers on menus or parking meters. To stay safe: 1. Check for physical stickers. 2. Preview URLs (avoid weird domains). 3. Never install apps via QR. Digital wallets like Apple/Google Pay are safer than typing card numbers into the resulting web page.
📊 Practical Example
You scan a restaurant QR to pay. It asks for your full card number. You check the sticker—it is peeling off. You just saved yourself from a cloned card scam.
