Be careful, QR codes can also be dangerous!
Quishing, a form of phishing involving QR codes, poses significant dangers as it leverages the growing popularity of QR code technology for malicious purposes.
By embedding malicious links within seemingly innocent QR codes, attackers can easily trick users into visiting fraudulent websites or downloading harmful software. This technique exploits the trust and convenience associated with QR codes, often bypassing traditional security measures.
Once scanned, these malicious codes can lead to data breaches, financial losses, and unauthorized access to personal and sensitive information.
