New Cyber Threat Targets Executives: What is ‘Quishing’?
A new form of phishing attack, utilizing QR codes to deceive individuals into exposing sensitive information, is increasingly targeting executives, revealing a sinister evolution in cyber threats. According to a recent report by Abnormal Security, C-level executives are 42 times more likely to fall victim to these ‘quishing’ attacks than their non-executive counterparts.
This trend is particularly alarming for industries such as construction, engineering, and professional services, which are now facing an unprecedented level of cyber risk. As the traditional phishing strategy morphs into something far more devious, companies are urged to bolster their digital defenses, especially around their top-tier leadership.
