You Just Scanned a QR Code in Public

‍

Would you do it again if you knew it could steal your login?

‍

This wasn’t a scam, but it could’ve been.

‍

Fake QR codes are one of the fastest-growing ways hackers trick you into giving up your passwords. They stick their own QR codes over real ones—in restaurants, parking meters, posters, even menus—and the second you scan, you land on a fake login page. (But This Page Is Safe.)

‍

🛡️ Quick Tips to Stay Safe with QR Codes:

‍
1. Always Preview the Link. If it looks weird—don’t open it.

‍
2. If the QR looks like a sticker (crooked, bubbled, or glossy), it could be covering the real code.

‍
3. Avoid entering personal info unless you’re absolutely sure it’s legit.

‍
4. When in doubt—go directly to the site instead.
