How QR-code phishing can slip past corporate security measures

QR-code phishing, or quishing, has emerged as an alternative attack vector to traditional phishing techniques. The article discusses how this method can evade corporate security defenses and outlines mitigation strategies for organizations.

Why it matters: Security teams need to understand quishing tactics and update email and endpoint controls to detect and block QR codes that redirect to malicious sites, as this vector bypasses URL filtering.
