Dodgy MFA Email Notice Uses QR Codes To Evade Detection

In a novel new scam, phishers are attempting to bypass spam filters by embedding an image of a custom QR code in an email, rather than a link to a phishing page. When scanned by a mobile phone camera, the QR code image will open the phishing page instead. Email filtering services routinely check for malicious URLs or links, so the inclusion of the image is designed to side-step that trip-wire.
