Who it's for
Anyone who encounters QR codes — parking meters, restaurant menus, flyers, packages, emails. Security teams use susQR to verify untrusted QR codes. Individuals use it to protect against quishing attacks, which have surged 587% since 2023.
Why susQR is different
Your phone's default camera opens QR code links immediately with no security check. susQR sits between the scan and the click — so you see where you're going and whether it's safe. Learn more about how it works or read about common QR code scams.
