I learned a new word today: Quishing.
It’s a sneaky twist on phishing where scammers use fake QR codes to steal credentials, capture payment details, or install malware. We scan them for everything these days, but it’s time to be more vigilant.
Quick tips to stay safe:
- Inspect stickers: Look for physical tampering or overlays.
- Preview URLs: Use a scanner that shows the link before it opens.
- Verify sources: Never enter passwords on a site reached via an unsolicited QR code.
Stay sharp out there! 🛡️
