Why check a QR code first?

[ quishing ]

QR phishing is rising

Scammers stick fake QR codes on parking meters, restaurant tables, and posters — leading to fake payment or login pages.

[ hidden ]

You can’t see the link

Unlike a normal link, a QR code hides its destination until you’ve already scanned it — checking first matters.

[ reputation ]

Same engine as our Link Checker

Every scanned QR code is checked against Google Safe Browsing and GuardMyWeb’s own phishing heuristics.
