With the rise of QR experiences comes a new wave of phishing attempts. Safeguard your brand and your users with a proactive security playbook.

Common threats

  • Redirecting visitors to fake payment portals.
  • Triggering malicious app downloads.
  • Harvesting personal data without consent.

Build trust from the very first scan

Always display the destination URL next to your code, use a recognisable branded short domain and enable link preview in the scanning app.

Team security checklist

  1. Verify the SSL certificate of every landing page.
  2. Opt for a QR manager that lets you revoke or update links instantly.
