The rise of QR code scams in the UK poses a significant threat to motorists, as malicious codes direct users to fraudulent sites posing as legitimate payment services.
Victims may unknowingly expose sensitive personal data, including license plate numbers and vehicle details, which can be exploited for targeted phishing attacks.
Research indicates that malicious QR code websites are attracting approximately 320 visitors daily, highlighting the need for increased public awareness and caution.
This disturbing trend is not isolated to the UK; similar scams are being reported across Europe, Canada, and the United States, indicating a wider problem.
