If You Scanned That QR Code From the Super Bowl (or Any QR Code), the FBI Has a Warning for You

February 27, 2022 by Robert Eyler

QR code can be a good use for business to make it easy for the customers to view menus , store maps , and to get coupons.

The beauty of a QR code is that instead of asking someone to remember a website, you simply embed it in the code. When they scan the code, it takes them directly to whatever webpage you want.

Because of the easy of getting the QR codes the Cybercriminals are taking advantage of this technology by directing QR code scans to malicious sites to steal victim data, embedding malware to gain access to the victim’s device, and redirecting payment for Cybercriminal use and / or steal your data on your device.

If there is QR code in a place by like an ATM or place that make no since DO NOT scan them.
