🕵️♂️ Hidden Destinations: QR codes hide their links, making it easy for fraudsters to disguise malicious URLs.
📲 Instant Access: Scanning a QR code grants immediate access, which fraudsters exploit to deliver malware.
🎭 Fake Overlays: They place fraudulent QR codes over legitimate ones in public places.
🤷 User Unawareness: Many people aren't aware of the risks and scan codes without thinking.
🔄 Easy Distribution: Malicious QR codes can be quickly spread via emails, flyers, or social media.
🛡️ Bypassing Security: QR codes can bypass traditional security measures like spam filters.
🎯 Targeted Attacks: Customized QR codes can target specific devices or apps.
