However, like any technology, QR codes can be used by attackers to hack and steal data. The following tips will definitely come in handy to protect yourself from such attacks.

Beware of QR codes of unknown or questionable origin. For example, codes attached to suspicious emails or posted on unverified websites may be fake.

Scammers use haste or threat tactics to get victims to act quickly. For added protection, we recommend that you update your personal information to enable two-factor authentication for all accounts whenever possible.

However, it is very important to log out of devices that you are not using. Also, be sure to regularly update your software, including browsers with operating systems that often have built-in link protection.
