Recovery Steps
What to Do If You Scanned a Bad Code
Quick steps if something already went wrong. Acting quickly is the biggest factor in limiting the damage.
Act fast
- Don't enter any information: close the browser tab immediately
- If you already entered a password, change it right away (and anywhere else you reused it)
- If you entered payment details, contact your card issuer
- If the code was on a physical sticker, remove it or report it to the venue/business
Speed matters
Acting quickly is the biggest factor in limiting the damage from a phishing scan. The longer stolen credentials or payment details sit unchanged, the more they can be used against you.
Prevent the next one
QRbolt checks the destination URL before your browser ever opens it, so a malicious code gets caught before you land on the fraudulent page in the first place.
