QR Scanning Safety
A QR code just encodes a string and is not trustworthy by itself. Check the domain/protocol before opening, never enter passwords or codes on unknown pages, and treat public parking/reward codes as potential phishing.
Is the domain official?
Is it http(s), not an odd protocol?
Expand/preview short links.
Do not enter passwords/codes on unknown pages.
Do not grant contacts/photos permissions blindly.
FAQ
Can a QR carry malware?
The code itself cannot; the link/file it points to might.
Can I scan public codes?
You can scan, but inspect the content before opening/paying.
