QR Code Security: How to Avoid Quishing Scams in 2026
QR codes are woven into daily life. You scan them at restaurants, parking meters, conference badges, product packaging, and bus stops. By 2026, an estimated 100 million Americans will scan a QR code at least once a month. But with that ubiquity comes a question that more people are starting to ask: are QR codes actually safe?
The short answer: QR codes themselves are neutral. They are a way to encode information -- usually a URL. The risk is not in the code. It is in where the code sends you, and whether you can tell the difference between a legitimate destination and a malicious one before it is too late.
This guide covers what you need to know about QR code security, the rise of "quishing" attacks, how to protect yourself and your business, regulatory considerations, and what the future of QR code security looks like.
What Is Quishing?
Quishing — a portmanteau of "QR" and "phishing" — is a social engineering attack where a malicious actor uses a QR code to redirect victims to a fraudulent website. The goal is the same as traditional phishing: steal credentials, install malware, or trick someone into making a payment to the wrong account.
What makes quishing particularly effective is that QR codes are opaque. Unlike a URL in an email (where you can at least hover to see the destination), a QR code reveals nothing about where it leads until after you scan it. And by the time your phone opens a browser, you are already on the attacker's page.
The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) issued a public warning about quishing in 2022, noting that cybercriminals were tampering with QR codes to redirect victims to malicious sites that steal login credentials and financial information. Since then, quishing attacks have increased by over 400%, according to multiple cybersecurity firms tracking the trend through 2025.
Why quishing is growing
Several factors are driving the rise of quishing:
- Trust conditioning: The pandemic normalized QR code scanning. People stopped questioning what they were scanning.
- Email filter bypass: Traditional phishing links get caught by spam filters. A QR code embedded in a PDF or image attachment bypasses text-based URL scanning entirely.
- Low cost, high reach: Printing a sticker with a malicious QR code and slapping it on a parking meter costs nearly nothing.
- Mobile vulnerability: Phones have smaller screens, making it harder to inspect URLs. Many mobile browsers truncate long URLs, hiding suspicious domains.
- Hybrid work environments: With employees moving between offices, co-working spaces, and remote setups, the number of unfamiliar QR codes they encounter daily has surged.
- QR codes in print media: Attackers now place malicious QR codes in fake flyers, counterfeit coupons, and even fake official correspondence, exploiting the trust people place in physical documents.
How quishing differs from traditional phishing
While the end goal is the same, quishing introduces several tactical advantages for attackers that traditional email phishing does not offer:
Limitations
- • Quishing: URL hidden inside image, invisible to text-based scanners
- • Quishing: QR code images pass through email filters undetected
- • Quishing: No way to preview destination without scanning
- • Quishing: Targets mobile devices where security tools are weaker
Advantages
- • Traditional phishing: URLs visible in email body, scannable by security tools
- • Traditional phishing: Blocked by corporate email gateways with URL inspection
- • Traditional phishing: Users trained to hover before clicking
- • Traditional phishing: Mostly targets desktop users where security tools are stronger
This asymmetry is why quishing is growing faster than almost any other phishing variant. It exploits a gap between how security tools are designed (to inspect text and links) and how QR codes deliver payloads (as images).
Real-World Quishing Attacks: Case Studies
These are not hypothetical scenarios. They have happened, and they keep happening. Understanding how real attacks unfold helps you recognize the patterns.
Parking meter scams across three continents
In cities across the US, UK, and Europe, criminals have placed fake QR code stickers on parking meters and pay stations. When drivers scan to pay, they are redirected to a convincing fake payment page that captures their credit card details. San Antonio, Austin, and Houston all reported widespread parking meter QR scams. In the UK, similar attacks targeted council car parks across multiple cities. By late 2025, variations appeared in Australia and Singapore, targeting both public parking and toll collection systems.
The attack is devastatingly simple: a criminal prints a QR code sticker linking to a phishing page styled to look like the local parking authority's payment portal, then places it directly over the legitimate code. Drivers, in a hurry to park, scan without a second thought.
Fake restaurant menus
Since restaurants widely adopted QR code menus during COVID, attackers have exploited the pattern. A sticker placed over a legitimate QR code on a table redirects diners to a phishing page that mimics the restaurant's ordering system — but skims payment data in the process. In some cases, the fake menu even works as a functional menu, forwarding orders to the real system while silently capturing credit card numbers. This "transparent proxy" approach means neither the diner nor the restaurant notices anything wrong until fraudulent charges appear days later.
If your business uses QR codes for menus, auditing your physical codes regularly is not optional — it is essential.
Microsoft 365 credential harvesting campaigns
In 2023 and 2024, security researchers documented a wave of quishing campaigns targeting corporate employees. Attackers sent emails impersonating IT departments, complete with company logos and formatting, containing a QR code with a message like "Scan to re-authenticate your Microsoft 365 account." The QR code led to a pixel-perfect replica of the Microsoft login page. Multiple organizations reported compromised accounts, and in at least one documented case, an attacker gained access to a company's SharePoint environment containing sensitive client data.
What made these attacks especially dangerous was that they targeted the device employees trust most — their personal phones — which sit outside the corporate security perimeter. Corporate email filters on the desktop caught nothing because the payload was an image, not a link.
Crypto and payment fraud
Scammers place QR codes at Bitcoin ATMs or share them in social media messages, claiming they link to a payment portal. Scanning the code initiates a transaction to the attacker's wallet. Once crypto is sent, it is gone. The FTC reported that consumers lost over $80 million to QR code payment scams in a single year, with crypto-related fraud making up a significant portion.
EV charging station attacks
A newer variant targets electric vehicle charging stations. Fake QR code stickers placed over legitimate payment codes redirect drivers to fraudulent payment portals. This was reported across several European countries in 2025, with the UK's National Cyber Security Centre issuing a specific advisory about the threat. The attack works particularly well because EV drivers are already accustomed to scanning codes at unfamiliar charging stations.
Supply chain QR code tampering
In a sophisticated 2025 attack documented by a European logistics firm, criminals intercepted product packaging during transit and replaced legitimate QR codes — used for warranty registration and product authentication — with codes redirecting to credential-harvesting sites. Customers who scanned to register their new product unknowingly submitted names, addresses, email accounts, and in some cases payment details to a criminal operation. The breach was not discovered for three months.
How to Spot a Malicious QR Code: 7 Warning Signs
Not every QR code is dangerous, but developing a habit of caution will protect you. Here are seven signs that something might be off.
The code is a sticker placed over another code
This is the most common physical attack vector. If a QR code appears to be a sticker layered on top of a printed code, treat it as suspicious. Legitimate businesses print their QR codes directly on signage or menus. Run your finger over the code — if you can feel a raised edge, it may be a sticker overlay.
The URL doesn't match the expected domain
After scanning, check the URL in your browser bar before interacting with the page. If you scanned a code at a restaurant called "Mario's Pizza" but the URL is something like marios-payment-verify.sketchy-domain.com, close the tab immediately. Legitimate businesses use their own domains.
The landing page asks for sensitive information immediately
Legitimate QR code destinations rarely ask for your password, social security number, or full credit card details on the first page. If a scanned code takes you straight to a login page or payment form, pause and verify through an independent channel.
The URL uses HTTP instead of HTTPS
Any legitimate payment or login page will use HTTPS (look for the padlock icon). If the scanned URL begins with http:// (no 's'), the connection is not encrypted, and you should not enter any personal data.
The URL contains misspellings or lookalike domains
Attackers register domains that look similar to legitimate ones: paypa1.com instead of paypal.com, arnazon.com instead of amazon.com. Check carefully for character substitutions (1 for l, rn for m, 0 for o).
The code appeared unexpectedly
If you receive an unsolicited QR code via email, text message, or social media — especially with urgency ("Scan immediately to avoid account suspension") — treat it as a phishing attempt until proven otherwise. Urgency is the hallmark of social engineering.
There is no context or branding around the code
Legitimate business QR codes usually appear within branded materials with clear context about what you will get when you scan. A random QR code on a flyer with no logo, no business name, and no explanation is a red flag. Compare this to how a well-structured small business QR code implementation always includes branding and context.
URL Preview Features: Your Phone's Built-in Defense
One of the most effective defenses against quishing is a feature already built into your phone. Both iOS and Android now offer URL preview functionality when scanning QR codes with the native camera app.
How URL previews work
When you point your phone's camera at a QR code, the operating system decodes the QR data and displays a preview banner showing the destination URL before you navigate to it. This gives you a chance to inspect the domain, check for suspicious patterns, and decide whether to proceed.
On iOS (iPhone): The Camera app shows a yellow notification banner at the top of the screen displaying the URL. You must tap the banner to navigate — the phone does not automatically open the link. Starting with iOS 17, Apple added enhanced URL inspection that highlights the domain portion of the URL more prominently.
On Android: The behavior varies by manufacturer, but Google's camera app (and most third-party camera apps) show a floating chip or banner with the URL and a "Open" button. Newer Android versions include Google Safe Browsing integration that checks URLs against a known-phishing database in real time.
Always use your phone's native camera app to scan QR codes rather than a third-party scanner app. The native camera apps on iOS and Android have built-in URL preview and, increasingly, real-time safety checks. Third-party scanner apps may lack these protections — or worse, may themselves be malicious.
Limitations of URL previews
URL previews are helpful but not foolproof. They cannot protect you if:
- The displayed domain looks legitimate but is a lookalike (e.g.,
microsoft-verify.comvsmicrosoft.com) - The QR code uses a legitimate URL shortener (like bit.ly) that masks the final destination
- The landing page appears safe initially but redirects after a delay
This is why URL previews should be one layer of defense, not your only one.
How Businesses Can Protect Their Customers
If you generate QR codes for your business, you have a responsibility to make them trustworthy. Your customers' security is directly tied to your brand reputation.
Use a trusted QR code generator
Not all generators are equal. Some free tools inject tracking pixels, redirect through ad networks, or use domains that get flagged by security software. Use a generator that provides clean, direct links with transparent redirect behavior. Learn more about choosing a reliable QR code generator.
QR-Verse generates QR codes with clean HTTPS redirects, no ad injection, no tracking pixels, and no data harvesting. Every redirect is transparent — users can see exactly where they are going before they arrive.
Use dynamic QR codes
Dynamic QR codes give you control after printing. If your destination URL changes, gets compromised, or needs to be updated, you can change where the code points without reprinting. This is also crucial for incident response — if a landing page is compromised, you can redirect the QR code to a safe page within minutes rather than waiting to reprint physical materials.
Brand your QR codes
A well-designed, branded QR code is harder to counterfeit. When customers recognize your brand's visual style in the QR code itself (colors, logo, corner styles), a generic black-and-white sticker placed over it becomes immediately suspicious. This visual differentiation is your first line of defense against physical code replacement.
Add context around every code
Never place a QR code without explaining what it does. "Scan to view our menu" or "Scan to pay for parking — powered by [Company Name]" gives users the information they need to judge legitimacy. Context is what separates a trustworthy QR code from a suspicious one.
Monitor scan analytics
With dynamic QR codes, you can track scan patterns. A sudden spike in scans from an unexpected location might indicate that someone has copied your code or replaced it with a malicious one. Set up alerts for anomalous scan behavior — it could be the earliest indicator of a quishing attack targeting your brand.
Conduct regular physical audits
If you have QR codes in public spaces (storefronts, posters, parking areas), check them periodically. Look for stickers placed over your codes, and test them yourself to ensure they still lead to the correct destination. For high-traffic locations, consider weekly audits.
What to Do If Your Business QR Codes Get Spoofed
Discovering that someone has placed counterfeit QR codes over yours — or is distributing fake codes using your branding — requires an immediate, structured response.
Contain the threat immediately
If you use dynamic QR codes, redirect the legitimate code to a warning page alerting users that a spoofing attempt has been detected. If you cannot control the redirect (because you used static codes), physically remove or cover the compromised codes as fast as possible.
Document everything
Photograph the tampered codes, record their locations, and note the malicious URLs they point to. This evidence is essential for law enforcement reports, insurance claims, and customer communication.
Notify affected customers
Issue a clear, direct communication through your official channels (email, social media, website banner) alerting customers to the spoofed codes. Specify which locations or materials were affected and tell them exactly what to do if they already scanned a fraudulent code.
Report to authorities and platforms
File reports with the FBI's IC3 (in the US), Action Fraud (in the UK), or your national CERT team. Also report the phishing domain to Google Safe Browsing and the domain registrar to get it taken down.
Review and harden your QR code deployment
After the immediate crisis, reassess your QR code strategy. Switch to branded, dynamic codes if you have not already. Implement tamper-evident materials for physical deployments. Increase the frequency of physical audits.
Enterprise QR Code Security: Building a Corporate Policy
For organizations deploying QR codes at scale — across offices, events, retail locations, or marketing campaigns — ad hoc security measures are not enough. You need a formal QR code security policy.
Key elements of a QR code security policy
Code Generation Standards
Define approved QR code generators. Mandate HTTPS-only destinations. Require dynamic codes for all public-facing deployments. Specify branding requirements that make your codes recognizable and hard to counterfeit.
Deployment and Audit Procedures
Establish protocols for placing QR codes in physical locations. Require tamper-evident materials where feasible. Schedule regular audits of all deployed codes. Maintain a central registry of every active QR code, its location, and its destination URL.
Incident Response Plan
Define clear steps for when a spoofed or compromised code is discovered. Assign responsibilities: who investigates, who communicates with customers, who handles law enforcement reporting. Set response time targets — every hour counts.
Employee Training
Train employees to recognize quishing attempts in corporate communications. Include QR code security in your regular phishing awareness training. Educate staff on safe scanning practices, especially for codes received via email.
QR code security for events and conferences
Events and conferences present unique QR code security challenges. Attendees scan dozens of codes throughout the day — for check-in, session schedules, networking, and sponsor booths. This high-trust, high-volume scanning environment is attractive to attackers.
Best practices for event QR security:
- Print all QR codes directly on official event materials. Never use loose stickers that could be replaced.
- Use a single, recognizable branded QR code style across all event touchpoints.
- Include the destination URL in plain text next to the QR code so attendees can verify where it leads.
- Brief event staff on how to spot tampered codes and what to report.
- Monitor scan analytics in real time during the event for unusual patterns.
QR Code Tamper Detection: Physical Security Measures
Beyond digital safeguards, physical tamper detection can prevent or reveal QR code replacement attacks.
Tamper-evident materials
Print QR codes on materials that show visible damage when someone attempts to peel or cover them. Tamper-evident labels with holographic elements, fragile substrates that shred when removed, or void-pattern adhesives all make it obvious when a code has been interfered with.
Embedded verification elements
Include secondary verification alongside your QR code — a short URL printed in plain text, a unique code number, or a branded holographic sticker next to the QR code. This gives users a second way to verify legitimacy that an attacker would need to replicate.
Strategic placement
Place QR codes in locations that are visible to staff or security cameras. Codes in isolated, unmonitored areas are easier targets for replacement. In retail environments, position QR codes behind glass or in display cases where physical access is limited.
Regular rotation and versioning
For long-running deployments, consider rotating your QR codes periodically. Using dynamic codes makes this seamless — you can update the destination URL on a schedule without changing the physical code. Some organizations add version identifiers (a small printed date or version number next to the QR code) so staff can quickly verify during audits that the code has not been swapped for an older or unauthorized version.
Regulatory Compliance: GDPR, Data Collection, and QR Codes
QR codes that collect or process personal data are subject to data protection regulations. If your QR code leads to a form that captures names, emails, payment information, or any other personal data, you are a data controller under GDPR (in the EU) and similar frameworks elsewhere.
GDPR considerations for QR code deployments
- Transparency: Users must be informed about what data will be collected before they provide it. A QR code that leads to a data collection form must include clear privacy notices on the landing page.
- Lawful basis: You need a valid legal basis for collecting data via QR code interactions — typically consent or legitimate interest. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.
- Data minimization: Collect only the data you actually need. A QR code for viewing a restaurant menu should not require users to enter their email address.
- Right to erasure: If users submit data via a QR code form, they retain the right to request deletion of that data.
- Cross-border transfers: If your QR code redirects users to a server outside the EU, appropriate data transfer safeguards must be in place.
Businesses operating in the EU should ensure that QR code landing pages include a link to their privacy policy, a clear explanation of what data is collected and why, and a consent mechanism where applicable. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to 4% of annual global revenue under GDPR.
Data collection transparency
Even outside the EU, responsible QR code usage means being transparent about data collection. If your QR code tracks scan locations, device types, or timestamps, disclose this. If your dynamic QR code service collects analytics on scan behavior, ensure your privacy policy covers this. Users should never be surprised by what data a QR code interaction generates.

Create Free QR Code →What to Do If You Scanned a Suspicious QR Code
If you think you may have scanned a malicious QR code, act quickly. The first minutes matter.
Don't enter any information
If you have been taken to a page that asks for credentials, payment info, or personal data — close it immediately. Do not fill in anything. Do not tap any buttons on the page, as even "Cancel" buttons can trigger malicious actions on phishing sites.
Disconnect from the internet temporarily
If you suspect malware may have been triggered (especially on Android), switch to airplane mode to prevent any background data transmission. This stops any ongoing communication between your device and the attacker's server.
Check for unauthorized app installations
Go to your phone's app list and look for anything you did not install. On Android, check Settings > Apps for recently installed applications. On iOS, check your App Library for unfamiliar apps. Remove anything suspicious immediately.
Change compromised passwords
If you entered a password on a suspicious page, change it immediately — and change it on any other service where you used the same password. Use a password manager to generate unique passwords for each account going forward.
Enable two-factor authentication
If you have not already, enable 2FA on your critical accounts (email, banking, social media). This limits the damage even if credentials were stolen. Use an authenticator app rather than SMS-based 2FA, which can be intercepted.
Report the incident
Report the malicious QR code to local authorities and relevant cybersecurity agencies. In the US, file a report with the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov. In the UK, report to Action Fraud. In the EU, contact your national CERT team. Also report the phishing URL to Google Safe Browsing at safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/.
Monitor your accounts
Keep an eye on your bank statements and credit reports for the next several weeks. Set up transaction alerts if your bank supports them. Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit file if you entered financial information on the suspicious page.
The Future of QR Code Security
QR code security is evolving alongside the threats. Here is what is on the horizon — and what will change how we interact with QR codes.
Regulatory pressure intensifies
The EU's Digital Services Act and upcoming revisions to the ePrivacy Regulation are pushing for greater transparency in how QR codes handle user data. Businesses that generate QR codes may soon need to comply with stricter disclosure requirements about redirect destinations and data collection practices. In the US, the FTC has signaled increased attention to QR code fraud in its consumer protection agenda, and several states are considering legislation specifically addressing QR code scams in public infrastructure.
Secure QR code standards
Industry groups are working on standards for "signed" QR codes — codes that include a cryptographic signature verifying the creator's identity. Think of it as HTTPS certificates for QR codes. While this is still in the standards-development phase, it could fundamentally change how trust works in QR-based interactions. The FIDO Alliance and several payment industry groups are active contributors to these standardization efforts.
Built-in phone protections
Both Apple and Google have been improving their camera apps' QR scanning capabilities. iOS now shows a URL preview before opening a link, and Android is following suit with Safe Browsing integration. Future iterations will likely include real-time URL reputation checks — comparing the scanned destination against known phishing databases before the page loads — as well as visual indicators distinguishing verified from unverified QR code sources.
AI-powered threat detection
Security companies are deploying machine learning models that analyze QR code destinations in real time, checking for phishing indicators like recently registered domains, suspicious redirect chains, and pages that mimic known brands. These systems are getting better at detecting sophisticated attacks that use legitimate-looking domains and convincing page designs. This kind of automated protection will increasingly be built into both scanning apps and enterprise security platforms.
Blockchain-verified QR codes
Some projects are exploring using blockchain to create an immutable registry of legitimate QR codes. When a QR code is generated and registered on-chain, scanners can verify its authenticity against the registry. While still experimental, this approach could provide a decentralized trust layer for high-value use cases like payments, identity verification, and supply chain tracking.
The practical adoption timeline for blockchain-verified QR codes remains uncertain, but early pilots in pharmaceutical supply chains and luxury goods authentication suggest the concept has legs in industries where counterfeiting carries high stakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are QR codes themselves dangerous?
No. A QR code is simply a visual representation of data — usually a URL. The code itself cannot install malware or steal information. The risk comes from what happens after you scan: if the URL leads to a malicious website, that is where the danger lies. Think of a QR code like an envelope — the envelope is not dangerous, but what is inside could be.
What is quishing and how common is it?
Quishing (QR + phishing) is a type of cyberattack where criminals use QR codes to redirect victims to fraudulent websites designed to steal personal information, login credentials, or payment details. It works the same way as email phishing, but uses QR codes as the delivery mechanism. Quishing attacks have increased by over 400% since 2022, making it one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity threats globally.
Can scanning a QR code install malware on my phone?
In most cases, scanning a QR code only opens a URL in your browser — it does not directly install malware. However, the website you are directed to could attempt to exploit browser vulnerabilities or trick you into downloading a malicious app. Always keep your phone's operating system and browser updated to patch known vulnerabilities. On modern iOS and Android devices, the risk of automatic malware installation from simply visiting a website is low but not zero.
How can I check if a QR code is safe before scanning?
Look for physical signs of tampering (stickers placed over original codes). After scanning, check the URL preview your phone displays before tapping to open. Verify that the domain matches what you would expect. Use your phone's native camera app, which typically shows a URL preview and may include safe browsing checks. Never scan QR codes from unknown or unsolicited sources, and be especially cautious with codes that arrived via email or text.
Are dynamic QR codes more secure than static ones?
Dynamic QR codes offer significantly more security control for the business that creates them. The destination can be changed or disabled at any time, scan patterns can be monitored for anomalies, and compromised links can be swapped out immediately. For incident response, dynamic codes are far superior — you can redirect a compromised code to a safe page within seconds rather than reprinting physical materials. Learn more about the differences in our static vs dynamic QR code guide.
What should businesses do to prevent quishing attacks on their customers?
Use a trusted QR code generator with HTTPS enforcement, brand your QR codes so counterfeits are obvious, always provide context about what the code does, use dynamic codes for easy updates, regularly audit physical QR code placements, and monitor scan analytics for suspicious patterns. Enterprises should also develop a formal QR code security policy covering generation standards, deployment procedures, employee training, and incident response.
Is it safe to scan QR codes for payments?
QR code payments are safe when used through verified, established payment platforms. Always verify that the payment page uses HTTPS, that the merchant name matches what you expect, and that the QR code has not been physically tampered with. When in doubt, use the merchant's app directly instead of scanning. For public payment terminals (parking meters, EV chargers), be especially vigilant about sticker overlays.
The Bottom Line
QR codes are as safe as the intentions behind them. The technology is neutral — it is a bridge between the physical and digital worlds. The question is not whether QR codes are safe. It is whether you know how to use them safely, and whether the businesses deploying them are doing so responsibly.
For consumers, the key is awareness: check URLs before interacting, be wary of codes in unexpected places, use your phone's built-in URL preview, and never enter sensitive information on a page you reached via an unfamiliar QR code. Treat QR codes with the same caution you would apply to clicking links in emails.
For businesses, the key is responsibility: use trusted generators, brand your codes, provide context, monitor for tampering, and have an incident response plan ready. Your customers' trust is on the line every time they scan one of your codes. If you need help getting started, visit our Help Center or browse the FAQ.
Security is not a feature you bolt on later. It is a foundation you build from the start.
