Beware of Malicious QR Codes
QR codes can be used by cyber crooks to steal your money or your identity. ABC.net.au explains what to watch out for.Be careful if:
-- You are taken by a QR code to a web page which asks you to provide your username, password, bank account details, and/or credit card details, then the person behind the web page is either a thief, or an idiot. So don't provide those details to them.
-- You are taken by a QR code to a web page where you need to login, then don't login. Instead, go directly to the web page by putting the correct URL into your browser address bar, or via some other trusted means. Doing this means you're much less likely to fall victim to a phishing scam.
