QR Codes - National Cyber Security Centre
QR Codes, what are they? we've all seen them whether its at your local or on the bus stop you use to get to work. For most they're simply a faster way to share links with a vast number of people, without having to communicate every single person in turn. Or at least that was the original intention, increasingly they're being used in official communications and office affairs. But how safe is it to use them, after all it's an image with no text attached save from that which comes from the writer of the advertisement or administrative communique. The reality is anybody could embed anything into any one of them. The National Cyber Security Centre has sought to address this question with a new post over on their site.
