How to protect yourself from "Quishing": Beware of fraudulent QR codes! QR codes have become ubiquitous in our daily lives. They facilitate payments, access to information or even consult menus in restaurants. However, their popularity also makes them a prime target for cybercriminals. A recent example in Bruges, Belgium, highlighted a type of fraud called "Quishing", where QR codes were replaced by fraudulent versions, thus diverting users' payments. So, how do you protect yourself from this type of threat? And why could NFC (Near Field Communication) technology be a safer alternative to QR codes? Here's everything you need to know. What is Quishing? Quishing, a combination of "QR" and "Phishing", is a scam where QR codes are altered or replaced, redirecting victims to fraudulent websites or cybercriminals' bank accounts. This can happen anywhere: in car parks (like in Bruges), restaurants, or even at public events. In Bruges, scammers replaced the QR codes on parking terminals with fraudulent stickers. Drivers thought they were paying for their parking, but in reality, their payments were diverted to malicious bank accounts. Why are QR codes vulnerable? QR codes, although useful and practical, have several vulnerabilities that make them an ideal target for fraudsters: Ease of manipulation: A QR code can be physically replaced by another one by simply sticking a sticker on it. Lack of visibility: Unlike a web link that you can read before clicking, a QR code does not allow you to know in advance where it will redirect you. A good... In the age of digitalization, Near Field Communication (NFC) cards have become an essential tool for access management, contactless payments and much more. However, with the rise of environmental awareness, more and more companies are looking to produce biodegradable PVC NFC cards to reduce their ecological footprint. But what is it really? In this article, we'll dive into the reality of biodegradable PVC NFC cards and clear up the fakenews surrounding them. Understanding Biodegradable PVC PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a plastic material widely used for manufacturing NFC cards due to its durability and strength. However, its slow decomposition and environmental impact have raised concerns due to its resistance to decomposition. This is where the concept of biodegradable PVC comes into play. Bio PVC is above all a Chinese registered trademark, therefore, nothing to do with real biodegradability of PVC. The same goes for BioPas which is a registered trademark. The Reality of Biodegradable PVC NFC Cards 1. Very limited or non-existent biodegradability. Although the term "biodegradable" may sound promising, it is essential to understand that the biodegradability of PVC NFC cards is particularly limited. These cards require specific conditions, such as industrial composting facilities, to eventually decompose. In landfills, where these conditions are not met, Bio-PVC can persist for many years, potentially generating waste. In normal environments, they can persist for many years, raising questions about their actual impact on the environment. Basically, PVC is NEVER biodegradable! The (mainly Chinese) industry has used a subterfuge to make PVC hypothetically biodegradable,... You can find sustainable or Eco Friendly tags, but 99% of the tags on the market are not. Ma Balise can provide you with Eco-friendly, biodegradable & recyclable NFC tags. How are NFC tags manufactured? A NFC tag is made of 3 blocs - The antenna- The chip- the overlay The NFC tag antenna The antenna is mainly made with copper, it can also be made with aluminium or graphene. Etching is a method where raw material is a metal foil on top of a base material. The extra material is etched with chemicals and only the desired antenna pattern is left on top of the base material. Exactly as are made electronics circuit print. Lots of copper is wasted, lot of chemical products, mainly acid, are used to etch the antenna track. Another way of producing the antenna is by laser cutting aluminium. If this process is a little bit safer for the environment, it's still metal material that can not be recycled due to it's too small size. Some manufacturer or providers claim these laser cutted antennas are eco-friendly, but they're NOT. So how are made the Eco-friendly NFC tags antennas? The Eco-friendly NFC tags provided by Ma Balise have a printed antenna made by highly conductive ink. As it's ink printed on paper, it can be thrown away with used paper. Watch the video hereunder to discover how circuit board are made https://youtu. be/YJr-kHy6STg The Eco-friendly NFC tags provided by Ma Balise have a printed antenna made...

The International Exhibition of Museums, Places of Culture and Tourism (SITEM) is a key annual event for professionals in the museum sector. The 27th edition was held from March 28 to 30 at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. Among the exhibitors present, the Ma Balise team was proud to be part of it. We are pleased to inform you that we have installed posters to facilitate the consultation of the program of conferences and workshops during the show. These posters are equipped with NFC tags and QR codes, offering a convenient and quick solution for visitors. It allows access to information about the events during the three days of the show. How does it work? It's very simple! By simply touching the NFC tags on the posters with their smartphone or by flashing the QR codes, visitors are automatically directed to the corresponding program page. Each day, the tags and QR codes are updated to the day's pages, so visitors are directed to the current day's program. And that's not all! In addition, if the visitors wished, they could download the program in PDF on their mobile and also access the program of the other days. This solution saves a considerable amount of time because it is no longer necessary to search for information in brochures or flyers. Everything is now accessible from their smartphones. Visitors were able to fully enjoy their visit to the show. In addition to the benefits for visitors, our solution has brought many benefits... Yes, it's a good idea most of the time, but if it doesn't fit your lead generation strategy, you don't need to own your own personal website as a real estate agent.

Don't expect to get a great website for less then 5. 000€ , at the beginning, save that money for customer care and run your real esrate business without a website. Discover how you can be digitally efficient without a website. In a nutshell, you don't need a website to do the work of collecting and editing the complete file before the property was put up for sale. Files are generally processed within a month. Nor is it essential to have a website to spend time discussing each client's very specific project. Nor is it essential to have a website to call customers directly with good news. Publish your ad! However, future buyers/tenants will have no trouble "registering" with a real estate agent for this service. And this is the basis of this beautiful profession. Focus on your customer experience with you or in front of the property. You have certainly heard this phrase repeated over and over again. You must have a website! And while that's not bad advice, most agents who give advice probably don't know what they're talking... A person scanning a QR code on a package Engage customers and drive sales with connected, efficient and low-cost product packaging If you sell or manage a physical product sold online, you want to increase sales, customer satisfaction, reviews, and referrals. All of these activities begin with digital engagement. However, clicks are expensive when they come from social ads, influencers, email campaigns, SEO management, or paid search. Google, Facebook, etc. , are they really your friends? Do you rely on them for the customer to find your product? What if they sent him to your competitors instead? Fortunately, there's a low-cost digital touchpoint at your fingertips. It's also low friction, beneficial to your customer, and available where your customer needs it. When you add an NFC tag to your product or packaging, a QR code to your delivery note, you make it a touchpoint to engage in a range of activities that are good for your business. This is all the more important since after the departure of your brand, you lose all direct contact with your customer. Contactless digital solutions are a great way to reconnect with them, at their request. Balise NFC An NFC tag is a link that users scan with their mobile device, without an app. NFC chips have been around for a decade, and if you haven't used them before, chances are you've scanned them for payments during the pandemic. You probably know NFC tags as "contactless technology". NFC tags are now, more than ever,... Source BFMtv NP Plastibell presents an innovative connected syringe based on NFC components from STMicroelectronics This pre-filled syringe, which stores important data on the product and its manufacture, will be presented at the Pharmapack exhibition which will take place in Paris on May 18 and 19, 2022 Integrated inside the body of the syringe, this NFC tag allows production teams, healthcare professionals and patients to access important information about the medicine contained in the syringe. This innovative device is the result of a collaboration between NP Plastibell, a member of the Calyens group, and the giant STMicroelectronics. The latter is well known in the IoT environment by its many components developed to connect the Internet of Things. It is the company NP Plastibell which is responsible for overmolding the NFC tag chip in the plastic syringe. STMicroelectronics helped them overcome the constraints linked to the integration of NFC tags in the molding process as well as those linked to the sterilization of syringes at a temperature that can reach 130°C. https://youtu. be/zcU3OoYMf7o This video is subtitled via Youtube - Excerpt from BFMtv « NFC tags can store product-specific information through internet links or even through a dedicated app. In this connected syringe, the tag helps medical staff quickly access precise instructions for exact dosage, expiry dates, storage conditions or other important information using their smartphones or an NFC reader. Patients can also schedule reminders on their mobile phone by scanning the tag », explains Yvon Gourdou, Marketing and Applications Director,... Nowadays, we take less and less time to go there to visit a property. Indeed, from home, it is possible to have a lot of information and nothing is enough for customers to move on to another good. Times are changing and the customers of tomorrow are those born with a smartphone in hand. Everything is accelerating around us, we are constantly under the information and devote less and less time to announcements. Indeed, a trifle changes the customer's opinion. This is why there is a real need for adaptation. Ma Balise was born from this observation and therefore offers a way to follow this pace using contactless communication in mobile format exclusively. Ma Balise offers a way for real estate agents to offer their clients an interesting tool to give them a new experience. Using QR codes and Ma Balise NFC tags, it is possible, by placing them on a sales or rental poster, to redirect the person who scans to an interactive page that can be personalized as desired. On this page, you can insert text to describe the property offered, photos, videos, a call to action... enough to make the customer's life easier... Personalization is infinite. A client seduced by the tool will prove to be more interested in the agent/agency that offers this property. If you are wondering how to scan an NFC tag, we invite you to watch this article which explains how to use NFC technology quickly depending on your IOS or Android device)... An accident can happen so quickly. It is a scenario that we do not want to imagine but it is unfortunately a scenario to consider. And when will that happen? Will you be prepared? In the company, workers are trained in the event of an accident. The latter must, in most cases, remember an emergency number to contact as soon as possible. However, this number is often complicated to remember and even worse, this number can be different from place to place. If the worker always works in the same place, maybe he will remember the number and again, there is no guarantee, but in the case of a subcontractor? How can you be sure that he will perfectly remember the number of each factory he goes to? And if an accident occurs, what will the workers do if one of them is seriously injured and his colleagues around do not remember the number to contact as soon as possible? In many cases, they risk panicking and wasting precious time. Ma Balise was born from this observation. If the worker witnessing the scene does not remember the emergency number, he could find himself disconcerted and the loss of time involved in finding the number could be fatal. However, using Ma Balise, you can place an easily scannable NFC chip with a smartphone on top of the helmet. This tag directly opens a redirect page with the essential information and saves crucial time for the good of the injured person(s). Something... QR codes have made a big comeback in the past couple of years because people have been craving contactless menus and transactions. In fact, from 2018 to 2020, QR code usage increased by 96%. All you need to use a QR code is a camera on a smartphone. The use of QR codes in small, medium and large businesses is likely to become the new way to market and communicate with customers. Because QR codes not only give customers the convenience they've grown accustomed to, they also provide businesses with important information. For example, a restaurant that allows customers to order via a QR code now has that specific customer's preference stored for future marketing purposes. However, QR codes are not necessarily of good quality. Indeed, many QR codes are free QR codes that do not allow any customization. The experience for the user is non-existent and the latter will certainly be disappointed with such a QR code which does not bring anything in particular. In addition, some QR codes only allow one redirect link. However, using a Ma Balise QR code, it is possible to create a simplified and quality QR code that will refer to several redirect links while having the possibility of personalizing the landing pages. This is an opportunity for companies to refer using a single QR code to their site, an online conversation or their social networks for example. When businesses use QR codes to communicate with their customers, it's important to take a few... With the correct use of QR codes, you can turn traditional ad formats into opportunities for your own data. QR codes are certainly not a new marketing tool, but Coinbase's Super Bowl commercials show that these 2D barcodes are a powerful way to facilitate engagement with historically unobtrusive media, television. Coinbase commercials were just QR codes that bounced on the screen and almost destroyed the internet (and temporarily the Coinbase website) during the game on Sunday night. Created with Accenture Interactive, this spot brought over 20 million hits to the landing page per minute. This was six times the engagement forecast, Coinbase Chief Marketing Officer Kate Rouch said in a company blog post. https://youtu. be/y_WryOeJHPw Coinbase bouncing QR @ Superbowl final 2022 No actors. No scenes. No backgrounds. No branding. No dialogue. Just a QR code. Coinbase's Super Bowl ads are unique. An ad modeled after an old color-changing DVD screensaver showed a simple QR code bouncing on a black screen. With game music inspired by the 90's, the ads played leisurely for 60 seconds, and many of us took out our phones and scanned them to find out what we were looking at. According to a survey by ad exchange company Sharethrough, 79% of TV viewers open up their mobile phones during commercial breaks, so consumers are already ready to take advantage of available ads. This, coupled with admitting that 76% of viewers aren't actively watching ads, Sharethrough says the CTV QR code keeps viewers' attention during commercial breaks.... A QR code is a type of barcode that any smartphone user can easily scan, using their camera, to be directed to a website, article, or anywhere else the creator of the QR code wishes to lead away. However, QR codes are not necessarily of good quality. Indeed, the majority of QR codes are free QR codes that do not allow any customization. The experience for the user is non-existent and they will be disappointed with such a QR code which does not bring anything in particular. In addition, some QR codes only allow one redirect link. Nevertheless, using a QR code Ma Balise, it is possible to create a simplified and quality QR code that would refer to several redirect links while having the possibility of personalizing the landing pages. This is an opportunity for companies to offer an additional experience to their customers and also to refer using a single QR code to their site, an online conversation or their social networks for example. Looking around, we can see QR codes everywhere. They are for example in the restaurant in order to see a menu without contact. They are on receipts to facilitate returns and exchanges and much more. QR codes are becoming increasingly popular. QR codes are simple to use, convenient for the creator and the user. To learn more about QR codes, we invite you to read the article Contactless Horeca menu – NFC and QR menu best practice guide One of the biggest benefits of... On December 1, the Belgian company Ma Balise, which specializes in digital marketing, won the award for best innovation at the EU Cross Border forum (EU CBEC), the international e-commerce trade show held every year at Liège airport. Intended to advise and support European & Belgian SMEs active in the retail trade to embark on international e-commerce, the the EU CBEC wished with this prize to highlight the importance of e-commerce to follow the current consumer behavior, to develop and remain competitive internationally. An issue that has become essential for Belgian and especially Walloon companies. "We have launched for the first time this year the awarding of an Award to a company proposing an innovative project aimed concretely at the digital transformation of companies on one or more stages of the retail value chain, explains Michel Kempeneers Managing Director of the Directorate General for International Affairs at the Walloon Agency for Exports and Foreign Investments (AWEX). These solutions concretely help our companies in their internationalization through e-commerce. » This is the project submitted by the Belgian company Ma Balise, which offers a digital marketing solution to generate more traffic, more leads and more consumer engagement thanks to QR codes or NFC tags.

The platform developed by Ma Balise allows consumers to benefit from a customer experience with content that is perfectly suited to reading on smartphones. This results in better consumer engagement by... Add QR codes and NFC tags to show your readers additional materials via videos, images or even audio clips. With the advent of technology, people's attention has dramatically diminished. According to a Microsoft Canada survey, the average attention time for the average person today is only 8 seconds. (It was 12 seconds in year 2000) Scrolling through social media apps endlessly and pausing to read compelling article titles is probably the only thing most people read in a day. Almost all books are now available as ebooks, and paperbacks are slower to order and read. In addition, reading on your Kindle is convenient because you can carry your entire library with you wherever you go. But rest assured, this is not the end of the books. A majority of bibliophiles still enjoy reading a physical book. As proof, the still high number of physical books sold each year. Most of the books you read on the train, at the beach, etc. will be in electronic version, but when it comes to a larger book most people will prefer to consult the paper version. This is where it becomes important to add a digital touch to your work, so that the reader can discover more. (There is no clickable link on paper) And to connect the online world and the offline world, you can always use a QR code. Or, even better, an NFC tag. You can create a QR codes to help you connect with your readers online and make... https://youtu. be/TSAkSld3V-4 You may have already seen this logo in the settings of your Smartphone without really knowing what it was. Some told you it was to make payments with your phone. This is not false, but particularly reductive as to the extent of the possibilities offered by this small sensor which equips your device. In this short video below, discover the multitude of uses offered by this technology. I will then explain how and why to use it for your marketing and communication. https://youtu. be/HvCZaBF6YxU As you can see in the video above, it's very easy to use. After activating the function on your smartphone, each time you use it, simply unlock your screen and place the phone against (or almost) the NFC tag (or chip). And that's it, the trick is done, the action is accomplished. Connecting to wifi, opening a door, paying for purchases, validating an action, obtaining information, all these things are now accessible in a single gesture. If all these exchanges are possible, why wouldn't we use it for marketing and communication purposes? Let's imagine, we are visiting the International Exhibition of "everything and anything". (I'll let you imagine what can be exhibited at this type of fair. ) We wander down the aisles and your gaze falls on an object, a service, a supplier. There, the long-toothed salesman is already ready to jump on you and it makes you uncomfortable. Or better, it's an interesting product and every salesperson is already busy. You still... Wondering how to increase the visitor experience in your museum or gallery? https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=HWNAIpsdekU While visiting a museum, exhibition or art gallery, have you ever noticed the amount of visitors walking around with their smartphone in hand? There are often many more than those using the audio guide provided free of charge. The pandemic we are experiencing has highlighted the risks associated with the constant manipulation of these audio guides by the majority of visitors. During a visit, more than 90% of visitors consult their smartphone at least once. Many of them do so in search of additional information on an exhibited work. How can I exploit these micro moments that the visitor spends on his Smartphone and ensure that it is my content that he looks at and not that of others? Ma Balise provides you with high-performance technological tools to get in touch with visitors directly on their Smartphone, without contact. The technology used is NFC for Near Field Communication. It works on all recent Gsm, without application. An interactive solution to better accompany the public during their visit. A visit is above all a human experience, stirring all the senses of the visitor. Technology therefore supports this visitor experience and cannot be relevant if this technology does not improve this user experience (UX). Watch on vidéo : https://youtu. be/vC3AMnmjsLI To access this contactless interactive content, the visitor, equipped with his inseparable weapon, namely his Smartphone, unlocks his screen and brings his Gsm to the nfc tag... https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=4vdrB5w8YV8 Most of the population today are familiar with QR codes since they are used regularly, they are particularly visible due to their design. They are relatively simple to scan and particularly inexpensive to set up. The pandemic has also put them back in the spotlight lately. They are very useful and used for low risk applications, but are not secure enough and can easily be copied or even shared. QR codes are therefore not a reliable solution for applications where security and the fight against counterfeiting come into play. QR codes also have these other disadvantages that you absolutely need good light to be able to be scanned, that the contrast in printing is just as important. Another disadvantage is that you absolutely have to open an application to be able to scan it (the camera or another dedicated app). The QRs are easily damaged by simple marking, bending or scratches which make them impossible to read. Near Field Communication, or NFC, is a communication protocol based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). Designed to transmit small sequences of information (usually a URL) to a Smartphone. NFC tags or NFC chips (from the English name NFC tags) do not require any internal energy source, no batteries, no electrical connections. NFC tags are autonomous. They are self-powered by the energy radiation of the Smartphone that approaches them. They usually come in the form of a self-adhesive label or a credit card sized badge. Although their appearance is not...

When children visit the Santa’s Grotto in Blarney Woollen Mills in Ireland, they will get a pre-coded NFC wristband. The information on the wristband is provided by the child’s parent. When a child approaches the grotto, an elf scans his wristband, and Santa’s “naughty or nice” book will automatically update the information about the child, so that he can have a personalized communication with the child. This solution is provided by Aptriva partner NFC tag supplier RapidNFC, and Aptriva installed. “In essence, what we have done is to create an NFC-based software solution. When parents register their children for grotto activities online, they need to fill in some personal information about their children, such as favorite teachers, favorite bands, and favorite footballs. The team is waiting for these materials. ” JackSage of RapidNFC explained. “When children enter Santa’s Grotto, they will first meet an elf, who will scan the tag with his magic wand, which is actually an NFC reader,” Sage said. “Once it is scanned, the iPad or tablet in front of Santa Claus will automatically update the information about the child, so when the child comes here, he can see the content of the conversation on the tablet, which will form a better relationship with the child interactive” Other technologies, such as RFID or even QR codes, can also be used in different forms, but the effect is not very good.
