QR codes can be a security risk. Have you covered the base?
We’ve all scanned those little tags on tables, adverts and such. You’re not alone! In 2022 there was a 433% increase in QR code scans from 21. Your users will be doing this to work productively, efficiently and get things done.
So what’s the problem?
A malicious link hidden in a QR code can bypass traditional email filters. Additionally, the tell-tale signs of a phishing link are not as apparent with a QR code because it is difficult to validate and lures your users to switch to their mobile device with weaker security protection.
