Quishing Challenge
Quishing involves the use of multiple devices which poses various challenges for the organization. When cybercriminals send a quashing email with a QR code to a target user, the user might receive the quishing email on one device and then use another device to scan the QR code and open the linked webpage. This presents a challenge for the organization as they cannot effectively scan the email for potential threats using their cybersecurity protocol. If the target user opens this email using a work device then there is a chance that the organization’s devices could be infected with the malware if the organization’s security tool fails to detect and block the threat.
