GB Hackers on Security reported:
There has been a big surge in Quishing attacks due to the evasion technique it offers and the success ratio. QRs have boomed in the last three years and are now used in several places, such as MFA, for viewing menus at restaurants, Wi-Fi password scanning, contactless payments, and several other purposes.
When a user receives an email with a malicious QR, he/she scans the QR using their mobile phone, which brings them out of the organization’s security circle since no organization monitors personal mobile phones.
Since QRs have low suspicions among executives, users enter their credentials that provide the threat actor with a valid credential to an organization.
