The widespread use of QR code, especially in applications containing personal data such as banking, finance, and messaging applications, has made it the focus of fraudsters and cyber attackers. QR code supported phishing attacks are among the new methods of fraudsters because awareness of the safe use of QR code has not yet been formed. In this context, in this chapter, the authors try to draw attention to the safe use of QR code, and present cyber security risks that QR codes may contain, common usage areas of QR codes, QR code generators, and issues related to QR code awareness. © 2023, IGI Global.
