Combat Quishing attacks – QR code phishing attacks

What are Quishing attacks?

Quishing involves phishing emails that use QR codes to deliver malicious payloads.

As attackers refine their techniques, traditional email security solutions often struggle to detect these threats.
From 2021 to 2024, using QR codes in phishing emails surged by 1,400%, emphasising the urgency of staying ahead. Alarmingly, 12% of all phishing attacks now include QR codes.
In early 2024, these codes were behind 8.5% of obfuscation techniques used to bypass SEG detection involved in QR codes.

Our partner Egress has created a ‘CISO Guide to Quishing Attacks’ to help organisations combat this evolving threat. This comprehensive report provides:

• Insights into why cybercriminals are embracing quishing.
• An overview of the latest tactics used to bypass detection.
• A dual-approach strategy to enhance defenses, especially for Microsoft 365 environments.

With QR code usage growing rapidly and 26% more U.S. mobile users engaging with them in 2022 compared to 2020, the risk is only increasing. Understanding these trends is critical for protecting your organisation.
