Cyber Security Connect reported:
Attackers create malicious QR codes – these codes can be placed on physical objects, such as posters, brochures, or even stickers, making it easy for attackers to deceive individuals. They are often placed over legitimate QR codes, such as on parking metres or near point-of-sale in cafes or shops.
Once a victim scans the malicious QR code, they are redirected to a fraudulent website designed to mimic a legitimate one. For example, a fake banking website may request login credentials or personal information. Unsuspecting users may unknowingly enter sensitive data, which can then be harvested by cyber criminals.
