Frequently asked questions

Why check a QR code before opening it?

Codes on public signage are easy to cover with a sticker pointing somewhere else. Reading the destination first tells you whether the domain matches what you expect.

What should make me suspicious?

A domain that does not match the organisation on the sign, a long chain of redirects, or a shortened link where you expected a company's own site.
