Microsoft Teams is about to make QR code phishing much harder
Microsoft is developing a feature for Teams that will automatically hide QR codes from external senders, requiring users to manually reveal the image before scanning or viewing. The protection will roll out across Android, desktop, iOS, and Mac starting in October 2026.
Why it matters: Teams users face elevated phishing risk from malicious QR codes sent by external parties; this control reduces accidental scanning of attacker-controlled codes.
