Mobile Security: QR Code & Screenshot Threat Scanner

Mobile devices are the primary target for modern social engineering attacks: from fake parking meter QR code stickers (Quishing) to package delivery SMS smishing. The Stormhood Mobile App (iOS & Android) equips your phone with real-time AI vision tools.

1. Malicious QR Code Scanner (Quishing Protection)

What is Quishing?

Criminals stick fraudulent QR code labels over real QR codes on restaurant menus, parking meters, and bike-share stations. Scanning these with a standard camera app immediately opens a malicious payment or credential harvesting page.

How Stormhood Protects You:

Open the Stormhood mobile app and tap the QR Scanner icon.
Point your camera at the QR code.
Instead of blindly opening the browser, Stormhood:
- Decodes the embedded target URL.
- Runs an instantaneous threat reputation check.
- Previews the real destination domain and SSL certificate status.
- Displays a safety score before you ever leave the app.

2. Screenshot Fraud Analyzer

When an email, WhatsApp message, or invoice feels suspicious:

Take a screenshot on your phone.
In the Stormhood app, tap Scan Screenshot.
Select the image from your photo library (supports JPEG, PNG, and Apple HEIC formats).
AI Vision Analysis:
- Extracts text via on-device and cloud OCR.
- Analyzes emotional manipulation triggers (e.g., artificial urgency, threats of account suspension, fake bank alerts).
- Verifies sender email syntax and phone number area codes.
- Delivers a plain-English safety verdict: Safe, Caution, or High Risk.

3. SMS & Smishing Defense Tips

Delivery Scams: Never click links claiming "Your USPS/FedEx parcel requires a $2.50 address redelivery fee." Use Stormhood to scan the link first.
Bank Impersonation: Legitimate banks will never ask you to transfer funds to a "safe reserve account" over SMS.
Family Protection: You can link elderly relatives' phones to your Stormhood Family plan to ensure their devices are shielded by the same threat engine.
