It is easy to make a fake QR code that would redirect people who scanned the code to a malicious website. To do so, one would need to create a counterfeit QR code with the URL of the malicious website, then post the code in public spaces such as in printed flyers or on social media to trick people into scanning the code. Once scanned, the code would trigger a connection to the malicious website and potentially allow a hacker to gain access to the user’s personal information or device. As a best practice, people should always make sure the URL in the QR code matches the website the code is directing to.
