QR codes shouldn't be blind links

Whether it's a menu, a payment code, or a parking ticket machine, scanning a QR code without knowing anything about the destination first can leave you vulnerable to cyber attacks.

Credential harvesting
Convincing fake login pages designed to capture usernames, passwords, and recovery details.
Destination obfuscation
Redirect chains that mask the final destination until after you have already committed to the visit.
Unsolicited downloads
Destinations that attempt to trigger downloads or app prompts before the user understands the context.
Quishing campaigns
QR-driven phishing attacks that bypass security tools which only inspect plain-text links.

Five layers of intelligence

Every scan runs through multiple independent signals, so you can assess the destination before deciding whether to proceed.

Local URL heuristics
Immediate structural analysis of the scanned link without waiting for network requests.
01
Google Web Risk
Cross-checking with established threat intelligence for known risk signals.
02
Domain age checks
Highlighting recently created domains, a common pattern in short-lived scam infrastructure.
03
Visual preview
A screenshot-style preview so the destination page can be inspected safely before it is opened.
04
AI-assisted analysis
Contextual reasoning to identify suspicious patterns that rules-based systems may miss.
