Helpful IT Tips
Have you heard of Quishing?
Quishing involves the use of manipulated or fake QR codes by hackers to carry out fraudulent activities, such as stealing personal information and spreading malware.
Hackers replace QR codes with their own QR sticker over the valid code and use them to lure people to websites that can steal personal information.
Tips to prevent QR code scam:
Do not give personal information after scanning
Decide whether the QR code is necessary to use
Double check the URL after opening a webpage from a QR code
If you scan a QR code and it redirects you to another page not related to activity, exit the page immediately
Turn off the QR scanning feature on phone to avoid accidental scans
