What Is Quishing?
Quishing, also known as QR code phishing, is a type of cyberattack where attackers use malicious QR codes to trick users into visiting fake websites, downloading malware, or stealing sensitive information.
It involves disguising a harmful URL within a QR code, making it difficult to detect the malicious intent before scanning.
How Does It Work?
- Stick fake QR code over legitimate ones.

- Redirect you to fake banking or payment websites.
- Trick you into downloading malware.
Avoid These Common Mistakes
