What is Quishing?
"Quishing" is a form of phishing that uses QR codes to trick people into revealing personal or financial information. Scammers place malicious QR codes in physical locations, like parking machines, or sent them via text or email. They will even go so far as to send packages with no return address or sender info – just the malicious QR code.

When a victim scans the codes, they are directed to a fraudulent website designed to steal login credentials, credit card numbers, or other sensitive data, or to install malware on their device. 

How to Avoid Quishing:
Inspect the QR Code: Look for sings of tampering, like a sticker placed over a legitimate code.

Check the URL: If you scan the code, check the linked URL to ensure it's from a legitimate source.

Avoid Sensitive Information: Never enter personal or financial information on a site prompted by a QR code, especially if the message seems suspicious.

Trust Your Instincts: If a QR code or message seems too good to be true, it likely is.

Be Wary of Packages without Sender Info: If you do not remember ordering anything and the package does'nt have a return address or sender info – do not scan the QR code. The contents of the package may contain an item of little or no value.

Keep Software Updated: Ensure your device's operating system and apps are up to date to protect against known vulnerabilities.

Question Unexpected Codes: Be especially cautious of unexpected QR codes, particularly if they arrive via unsolicited texts, emails, or found in public places without a clear purpose.
