Sky warns customers of disastrous TV mistake that could cost you

SKY has warned its customers over a scheme to fleece customers out of hard earned cash via rogue QR codes.

The broadcaster uses QR codes to help customers sign up for new apps – but these nifty links have been hijacked by con artists.

Sky has urged that it will only prompt customers to scan a QR code on official Sky pages – and not through emails or non-Sky sites

Hackers are increasingly using QR codes to steal people’s data and money, according to a report by HP Wolf Security, published earlier this year.
