After India, US regulators warn users of QR Code scam

Governments globally are warning about QR code scams, as cybercriminals continue to find new ways to scam. In addition to India, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a warning about QR code scams, where scammers hide harmful links in QR codes to steal personal information. Scammers in the US and India use similar techniques, such as sending QR codes and making up reasons for people to scan them.
