"QR Code Phishing on the Rise"

AT&T warns of a new trend of malicious QR codes being embedded in phishing attempts. Some users recently received an email from Microsoft with an attached PDF file containing a QR code and an urgent message instructing users to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). After scanning the QR code, users were redirected to a fake Microsoft sign-in page where they entered their username and password. Once entered, their legitimate login credentials were then stored and made available to the threat actor. The AT&T Managed Detection and Response (MTDR) security operations center has observed an increase in the number of emails containing malicious QR codes. This article continues to discuss the rise in phishing attacks involving malicious QR codes.
