Protect Yourself from Quishing or QR Code Scams

Back in December 2023 McAfee published a blog post advising how to avoid being caught out by Quishing or QR code scams.

The blog post related the story of a UK woman who had unwittingly become the victim of such an attack when parking her car.

She scanned the provided QR code with her phone but it took her to a phony parking payment site which then stole her card details.

Fortunately her bank blocked several attempted fraudulent transactions.

But that was not the end of the matter.
