How it works
At popular photo spots along the Chefchaouen ridge path toward the Spanish Mosque and at terrace cafes overlooking the blue rooftops, laminated QR codes are placed on tables or posted on walls claiming to link to the menu, a city guide, or a tourist map. Scanning these codes redirects to credential-harvesting pages that mimic hotel booking portals or Ask visitors to enter payment card details for a "free city WiFi" registration. Several codes have been reported along the Ras el-Maa waterfall path and near the viewpoint above the medina.
