Hackers are exploiting public willingness to scan QR codes in 'quishing' attacks that have now hit tens of millions of Americans.

KEY POINTS

Almost three-quarters of Americans (73%) scan QR codes without verification, and more than 26 million have already been directed to malicious sites, according to NordVPN.

The FTC warned earlier this year about scanning QR codes on unexpected packages.

New York City’s Department of Transportation issued a warning that scammers are posting QR codes on parking meters that are not legitimate payment links.
