Gotcha!

Has your company cybersecurity specialist not told you that it's bad practice to blindly scan QR codes? 

Scanning QR codes without verifying their source can be dangerous because attackers can embed malicious links or malware in the code. When scanned, these QR codes may direct you to phishing websites, download malware onto your device, or exploit vulnerabilities in your system. Unlike regular links, QR codes hide the destination URL, making it easy for attackers to deceive users. Always verify the source of a QR code before scanning, especially in public places or from unknown entities, to protect your device and data from potential cyber threats.

That all being said, don't worry, you are safe - this time - but if you need to further evaluate your Cybersecurity needs - be it as simple as user education, or as complex as penetration testing your existing systems, or even reviewing your web application code base, let us know.
