What to do when something looks suspicious
Stop interacting with the item, preserve the evidence and contact the person or organisation through a separately verified channel.
A SecurCheck score supports a decision but is not a certification or an absolute guarantee. New, private or unavailable signals may remain unobservable.
Protect your employees against quishing
Quishing, or QR-code phishing, hides a deceptive destination behind a code that looks ordinary. A QR code in a PDF, on a fake invoice or on a flyer at a trade show may lead employees to a fraudulent page on their smartphone. The address is not directly readable on the document, and protection varies with the tools and devices used.
The risk comes from the destination: a fake login page, payment request or malicious download. Give your teams a suspicious QR code checker. With SecurCheck Business, employees can scan a QR code online from an image or screenshot and examine its destination, domain reputation and observable redirects before opening the link on their mobile.
Decoding a QR code is not the same as opening its destination. Analysis time depends on the content and available sources; no result guarantees that a link is safe. Do not enter credentials or download a file while you still have doubts.
