UNDERSTAND QUISHING

The code is easy to scan. The destination deserves a look.

Quishing uses a QR code to take someone to a deceptive destination. The code may appear in an email, on a document or on a physical sign. Its appearance does not reveal whether the destination is trustworthy.

AN ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

A sticker covers the original QR code on a parking sign. Scanning it leads to a lookalike payment page. The setting seems legitimate, but the destination is controlled by someone else.

RECOGNIZE THE PRESSURE

Different disguise.
Familiar warning signs.

A code in an unusual place

Check for overlays, tampering or a QR code introduced in an unexpected message.

A destination that does not match

Preview the URL and inspect the domain before opening the page.

A sign-in after a simple scan

Unexpected requests for credentials or payment details should trigger independent verification.

A QUESTION WORTH ASKING

Clarity before
the next click.

Is a QR code safer than a clickable link?

No. A QR code is another way to encode a destination. A scan does not establish who controls the page or whether a request on it is legitimate.

Can I send an inquiry from this page?

The form is available to preview, but delivery is not yet connected. Submitting it does not send or save your details.
