Introduction
Recently, we've seen a lot of news about Quishing--or QR Code phishing. This is when the link behind a QR code is malicious, but the QR code itself is not. There was a report of a major U.S. energy firm targeted by a QR phishing code. Other reports have noticed an uptick in these types of attacks.
In fact, Harmony Email researchers have seen a 587% increase in QR code phishing scams between August and September and found that nearly all our customers have been targeted with a QR code-based attack. This equates to thousands of attacks per month!
