It's not great news.In a blog post last Wednesday, the FTC issued an alert on QR codes, warning that malicious actors can use them to hide harmful links that can steal your data. The post warns of several ways that people can be targeted, including parking meters, where scammers have, in some instances, covered the meter's QR code with their own.
Other methods the FTC pointed out include the usual email phishing scams of overexaggerated, urgent requests for users to change their passwords for an account. Some have masqueraded as Amazon, claiming to have issues with package delivery. The agency also added that QR codes can be used to quietly download malware onto users' phones.
