Uniqode uses Google Web Risk to detect URLs.

Google Web Risk is an enterprise security product that helps Uniqode check URLs against Google's constantly updated lists of unsafe web resources. It’s like a big list of all the known dangerous places on the internet. Social engineering sites, like phishing and deceptive sites, and sites that host malware or unwanted software all come under unsafe web resources that Google Web Risk flags. If your QR Codes point to a URL found on this list, it is considered unsafe by Uniqode. As a result, your Uniqode account will be disabled.

Here is a list of threat types that Google Web Risk categorizes unsafe web resources under.
