Train employees on QR phishing (quishing)
Run safe, consented QR phishing simulations across email, document, and physical placements — and tie outcomes to your Human risk score.
The problem
QR phishing bypasses email gateways and endpoint controls by handing off to a personal mobile device. Most awareness programs have never tested it.
Why it matters now
Quishing campaigns are now common in invoice fraud, MFA reset scams, and physical-pretext attacks. Employees need realistic, channel-specific practice.
How Verasity™ solves it
QR scenario library
Email-embedded, document-embedded, and physical-placement QR scenarios with safe landing pages.
Mobile-aware landing
Capture device, browser, and policy signals on scan without violating privacy.
Just-in-time coaching
Show a short lesson the moment a user scans a simulated quishing code.
Program reporting
Track scan, submit, and report rates across cohorts and locations.
Step-by-step workflow
- 1
Pick a quishing scenario (MFA reset, parking payment, invoice).
- 2
Distribute via email, document, or printed asset under consent.
- 3
Capture scan and submission signals on the safe landing page.
- 4
Trigger micro-coaching for risky behavior.
- 5
Report program-level scan, click, and report rates.
Example campaign
Printed 'parking validation' QR codes are placed in the lobby with consent. Employees who scan see a short awareness moment; reporters earn risk-score credit.
