Abstract
A method for analyzing messages for malicious content is provided. The method includes intercepting a message comprising a quick response (QR) code or a uniform resource locator (URL). The QR code corresponds to the URL. A status of the message is determined by determining a source of the message. The source of the message is compared to known malicious sources. In response to the source of the message not matching any of the known malicious sources, the source of the message is compared to known safe sources. In response to the source of the message not matching any of the known safe sources, the URL is compared to known malicious URLs. In response to the URL matching a respective one of the known malicious URLs, the status of the message is determined as malicious. The message is released to be displayed along with the status.
