How Cloudflare Cloud Email Security protects against the evolving threat of QR phishing

What's this blog post about?

Quishing, or QR phishing, is an emerging form of cyber threat that leverages QR codes to obfuscate malicious content and bypass detection engines optimized for catching phish. QR codes are popular in phishing attacks due to their strong error correction capabilities, versatility, and the fact that they can be seamlessly layered with other obfuscation techniques. Cloudflare has been at the forefront of defending against quishing attacks by employing a multi-faceted approach that includes machine learning detection models, proactive computer vision models, and continuous updates to their tools for trending obfuscation techniques. Users are encouraged to be vigilant and submit instances of quish to help improve defense strategies against this evolving threat.
