The ubiquitous QR ("quick response") codes that appear on everything from parking pay stations to soda cans and promotional flyers have become an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals to exploit through QR code-based phishing attacks,
The article from MSN discusses a new QR code format designed to enhance security and combat phishing attacks. This innovative format, developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo, includes a feature that notifies users of the destination URL before they scan the code. This preemptive notification aims to prevent users from inadvertently visiting malicious websites. The new QR codes incorporate a small, readable URL at the center, allowing users to verify the legitimacy of the link. This approach not only helps in reducing the risk of phishing but also addresses the issue of "QRishing," where attackers use QR codes to direct users to fraudulent sites. The researchers hope that this technology will be adopted widely to make QR code usage safer.
