In the last quarter of 2023, there was an unprecedented increase in the number of phishing attacks using QR codes on company executives, 42 times higher than the number of attacks on ordinary employees. This trend is a serious concern from a cybersecurity perspective.
The use of QR codes allows you to bypass traditional email security measures, as phishing messages with QR codes are often unsuspecting users and can easily reach their mailboxes. QR codes, which became widely used during the pandemic for contactless transactions, are now being used by attackers as a means of delivering malware.
