The FBI issued a warning that criminals are hijacking QR codes by placing stickers with codes they create over the top of the real QR code. When scanned, these malicious codes direct victims to phishing websites where they can steal personal or financial information. After checking the black QR codes on the city’s 709 parking meters, police found 20 meters had bogus QR code stickers carefully attached over the real ones. Photo by Mary Beth Almond
