QR code phishing (quishing) in a nutshell
Attackers often use QR codes in phishing campaigns to bypass URL filters.
Since targets can't easily preview the destination before scanning, this method is highly effective at deceiving unsuspecting recipients.
A comprehensive phishing protection platform analyzes QR codes used to deliver malicious links, redirects to credential harvesting sites, automatic downloads of malware, social engineering attacks, and more.
What makes QR code phishing so effective
QR codes bypass standard link scanning methods and offer unique obfuscation methods.
Link analysis avoidance
By putting their malicious link in a QR code, attackers can evade analysis that relies on traditional URL inspection.

Unique obfuscation
QR codes come with their own obfuscation methods, like embedding them as HTML, image contrasting, color changes, and logo overlays.
Hidden payloads
Attackers will put QR codes in attachments or on a linked page, keeping it easy for humans to find, but difficult for traditional phishing protection tools.
Tools for catching QR code phishing
Sublime uses a layered combination of AI, machine learning, and org-specific detections to catch the phish.
Computer vision
Sublime uses computer vision to detect QR codes in an email body, linked pages, and attachments.
Link analysis
Sublime uses a browser emulation sandbox and machine learning to follow decoded QR code links through redirects to resolve the effective URL and collect a screenshot for further analysis.
Recursive file analysis
Sublime analyzes attachments with computer vision to detect QR codes and then resolve their destinations. This includes recursive analysis of archives, scanning all the files within regardless of depth.
