TLDR:

Developers need to address new hacking techniques involving QR codes and the @ bypass strategy to protect organizations from cyber threats.

Malicious hackers are using infected QR codes and @ signs in URLs to bypass email cybersecurity filters.
Traditional security solutions are failing to recognize and block these new hacking methods.
Developers and ISVs need to create innovative cybersecurity solutions to scan and flag QR codes, attachments, and images.

Key Points:

Malicious hackers have developed new tactics involving infected QR codes and the @ bypass strategy to evade email cybersecurity filters and target organizations.

The use of QR codes, known as “Quishing,” in email phishing attacks is on the rise, with many security solutions failing to detect them as threats.

Developers and ISVs play a crucial role in developing cybersecurity solutions that can effectively scan and flag QR codes, attachments, and images to stay ahead of hackers.

It is important for organizations to stay informed about these new hacking methods and invest in advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect their data and assets.
