What the is. Quishing scammers are now using QR codes to get you to a malicious website and steal your information. Quizzing is basically like phishing, but it's QR codes anytime you're scanning a QR code that can be malicious. Hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm a cybersecurity and data protection expert. I want to help you not get scammed. Let's go. Phishing scams are on the ride. All scammers have to do is slap a QR code over the original QR code and it will take us to the wrong website. Because think about it. The last time you scanned a QR code, do you even know what website it's directing you to? No. Please, please, please share this with a friend right now before we continue. Because everyone needs to know that this is a new threat. So please think twice before you just mindlessly scan every QR code. And if you have the option, type in the URL manually like and follow for more cyber security tips. And be sure to share this with a friend.
