that operatives did not waste time getting it at
the right angle. They also wanted it to have a
distinctive design to make it easy to identify. This
led them to choose the iconic square shape that
is still used today.
In 2002, the first mobile phones containing
built-in QR readers were marketed in Japan. The
use of smartphones led to an increase in the
number of companies using QR codes.
In 2020, Denso Wave continued to improve
on their original design. Their new QR codes
include traceability, brand protection, and anti-
forgery measures. There are many new uses for
the QR code, from transferring payments to
determining objects’ positions within augmented
reality.
How to scan QR codes?
Most smartphones have built-in QR scanners,
which are sometimes built in the camera. A QR
scanner is simply a way to scan QR codes.Some
tablets, such as the Apple iPad, have QR readers
built into their cameras.Some older devices may
require a particular app to read QR codes – these
apps are readily available on the Apple App Store
and Google Play.
Scanning a QR code using your device is very
simple. First open the QR reader application or
the camera on your smartphone, point it at the

Are QR codes safe?
Attackers can embed malicious URLs
containing custom malware into a QR code which
could then exfiltrate data from a mobile device
when scanned. It is also possible to embed a
malicious URL into a QR code that directs to
a phishing site, where unsuspecting users could
disclose personal or financial information.
Because humans cannot read QR codes, it is
easy for attackers to alter a QR code to point to
an alternative resource without being detected.
While many people are aware that QR codes can
open a URL, they can be less aware of the other
actions that QR codes can initiate on a user’s
device. Aside from opening a website, these
actions can include adding contacts or composing
emails. This element of surprise can make QR
code security threats especially problematic.
Mobile devices, in general, tend to be less
secure than computers or laptops. Since QR codes
are used on mobile devices, this increases the
potential risks.
Do QR codes collect personal information and
data?
QR code-generating software does not collect
personally identifiable information.The data it
does collect includes location, the number of
times the code has been scanned and at what
times, plus the operating system of the device
which scanned the code (i.e., iPhone or Android).
Can someone hack a QR code?
The QR codes themselves can’t be hacked –
the security risks associated with QR codes derive
from the destination of QR codes rather than the
codes themselves.Hackers can create malicious
QR codes which direct the users to fake websites
that capture their personal data such as login
credentials or even track their geolocation on
their phone. This is why mobile users should
only scan codes that come from a trusted
sender.
