Hi there

Welcome to Phriendly Phishing's August newsletter which covers platform reminders, product features, new courses and helpful tips and content. 

QR Code Phishing (Quishing)

QR (Quick Response) Code Phishing - affectionately known as Quishing - is a phishing attack that uses QR Codes to SCAM recipients into stealing sensitive data or personal information. 

QR Codes are a matrix barcode read by devices, like smartphones, and contain an identifier that when scanned redirects the user directly to a URL. Often users don't know which url they are being redirected to before scanning.

Admins can now send simulated phishing links using QR Codes. This is a significant capability uplift and dovetails nicely with the QR Code Scams course available.

QR Code templates have been included in the existing pool of phishing templates that are used in campaigns. You can also customise any template to include a QR code.
