"It’s a simple thing we encounter many times every single week – often while in
a hurry. You pull up at a parking spot, scan a QR code and pay within seconds.
Or you sit down at a cafe, scan a code to view the menu and order your meal.
At the train station, you scan the code on the poster for timetable updates. QR
codes are increasingly used in public transport systems worldwide for
ticketing, payments and accessing real-time information.
Because QR codes are so widespread, scammers naturally find them appealing too.
Here’s what you need to know to stay safe."
