#ISACyberTips - QR Code Phishing Could Be Bypassing Your Security We have seen a recent increase in a cyber attack technique called QR code phishing (or “quishing”). As QR codes become more prevalent in everyday transactions, such as payments and accessing information, people are becoming more comfortable – and less vigilant – in using them. Consequently, more threat actors are sending malicious QR codes via email, text, or across popular collaboration software platforms like Teams. These QR codes redirect unsuspecting users to phishing sites that can distribute malware, or collect sensitive information like login credentials and financial details. In addition to the relative simplicity of this threat vector, quishing presents heightened risk due to its ability to bypass traditional email security gateways, filtering tools, and identity authentication. These malicious communications can also potentially exploit functionalities and apps on some smartphones, which are often less well-protected than traditional endpoint computers. Specially crafted URLs can take you to sites that open payment apps, add contacts, write texts, or even initiate phone calls on your mobile phone. What can you do to protect yourself? 🔶 Ensure your security awareness training program includes information on QR code attacks to keep your staff up to date 🔶 Don't open unsolicited links or scan unsolicited QR codes – check the URL on the QR code first to look for suspicious destinations 🔶 Report suspicious email or other correspondence to your helpdesk team immediately 🔶 Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) that doesn't rely on QR codes 🔶 Confirm that your email security solution has QR code detection features built in Stay tuned for more cyber tips, and contact us to learn more! https://hubs.li/Q02KCTQH0 #CyberTip #QRCodes #Quishing
