Hey, have you ever thought about how easy it is for phishing scams using QR codes to trick us? It’s crazy how our brains are so wired to automatically scan codes after spending years doing it for various reasons like checking menus or connecting to WiFi. A sneaky email with a QR code and a legit-looking excuse is all it takes for us to mindlessly scan without even thinking twice. And scammers are getting smarter too, now leading us through a series of steps that all seem normal – from CAPTCHA pages to personalized URLs with our email already filled in, ending at a branded login page. The whole process happens on our phones, bypassing any security measures our work laptops may have. It’s a real danger, especially for those of us working remotely who rely heavily on our phones for verification. Scammers know this vulnerability and are taking advantage of it.
