Major Banks Sound Alarm Over Sophisticated “Quishing” Scams Bypassing Security

Leading banks and government agencies are raising concerns about a sophisticated fraud method designed to evade traditional security measures. Santander, HSBC, TSB Bank, and the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre are warning the public about “quishing,” according to the Financial Times.

Quishing, or QR code Phishing, involves tricking victims into scanning a QR code that redirects them to a malicious website or initiates a harmful download. This tactic allows attackers to harvest sensitive information, including passwords, financial details, and personal data. Experts reveal that quishing scams are increasingly appearing in email campaigns, where cybercriminals embed malicious QR codes within PDF attachments to lure unsuspecting users.
