    Quick answer: how to scan QR codes safely

    Definition

    Safe QR scanning means decoding the content first, checking link risk signals, and opening only links you trust.

    Steps

    1. Enable camera access and scan the QR code.
    2. Read decoded plaintext and risk reasons.
    3. Open only low-risk links you recognize.

    Mistakes

    • Opening links without reviewing decoded text.
    • Trusting shortened or unusual domains by default.
    • Ignoring non-HTTPS or suspicious URL patterns.

    Checklist

    • Decoded text matches expected destination.
    • Domain is familiar and protocol is HTTPS.
    • Risk label is not marked risky before opening.
