QR codes in Email Phishing

QR codes are everywhere: you can see them on posters and leaflets, ATM screens, price tags and merchandise, historical buildings and monuments. People use them to share information, promote various online resources, pay for their goodies, and pass verification. And yet you don’t see lots of QR codes in email: users often read messages on their phones without any other device handy for scanning. As such, most letters come with ordinary hyperlinks instead. Nevertheless, the attackers increasingly turn to QR codes delivered through email.

Unlike phishing links that are easy to check and block, QR code is a headache for security solutions. It takes costly and resource-heavy computer vision technology to analyze QR codes and find out what information they contain.
