How do phishing attacks exploit QR codes on e-commerce platforms, and how can customers verify their legitimacy?
Phishing attacks can exploit QR codes on e-commerce platforms by redirecting users to malicious websites that appear legitimate but are designed to steal personal information. Customers can verify the legitimacy of QR codes by using QR code scanning apps that display the URL before actually visiting it. Additionally, customers can manually type in the URL provided by scanning the QR code to ensure it goes to the intended website. It is crucial to verify the source of QR codes received via messages or emails before scanning them to mitigate the risk of falling victim to phishing attacks.
