Cracking the QR Code: Unmasking Attackers and Safeguarding Your Scans


Attackers are exploiting the QR code surge to steal information and conduct phishing campaigns. Here’s what security teams and users need to know to stay safe.

The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in a new era of QR code usage, simplifying contactless transactions and making life more convenient. However, bad actors are quick to exploit this opportunity and the inherent vulnerabilities of QR codes, posing a growing threat to individuals and organizations alike. The QRurb Your Enthusiasm 2021 report by Ivanti reveals that global QR code usage is on the rise, but organizations are lagging in security awareness and practices.

Despite 83% of respondents using QR codes for financial transactions in the past three months, most are unaware of the risks involved. Only 47% are aware that scanning a QR code can open a URL, and merely 37% know it can download an application. Users frequently scan QR codes in various settings, from retail stores to restaurants, often using their own unsecured devices, putting both personal and enterprise data at risk.
