Traffic violation scams switch to QR codes in new phishing texts

KI-gestützte QR-Code-Betrügereien

Eine neue Welle von Phishing-Angriffen über QR-Codes („Quishing“) setzt auf KI-generierte Nachrichten, um sensible Daten wie Bankzugänge zu stehlen. Besonders betroffen sind Kundinnen und Kunden deutscher Banken. Die Angreifer nutzen Smartphones gezielt als Einfallstor und umgehen klassische Sicherheitsbarrieren. Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher sollten QR-Codes nur aus vertrauenswürdigen Quellen scannen und wachsam bleiben.
