Welcome Digital Nomads! Thanks for reading this Blog.
I have recently read several articles about “Quishing” or “Brushing”. QR codes are used for advertisements, to learn more about something at museums, restaurant menus, and endless ways to transfer you to a link. Criminals have caught on to this trend and now are using this as a segue into getting you to give up information. I have also observed an article about fake QR codes on parking meters, where you think you are paying for parking. This article below provides a lot of good info to help you understand this criminal phenomenon; “Quishing scams dupe millions of Americans as cybercriminals exploit QR codes”.

As always, Be cyber aware.
