About Course
QR codes – the small black-and-white squares you scan with your phone camera – are now everywhere, from car park machines to restaurant tables. Criminals have started sticking fake codes over real ones. This course explains how “quishing” works, how to check a code before you trust it, and safer ways to pay.
