The Poisoned QR Code: How MFA Became a Weapon
🔐 MFA Is Now the Entry Point – Not the Barrier
🚨 Cybercriminals are now embedding poisoned QR codes into fake login portals and phishing emails.
🧠 They’ve figured out that if they can’t bypass MFA – they’ll make you bypass it for them.
📱 A new wave of attacks targets users scanning what look like legit QR codes to verify logins. But the second they scan – the session is hijacked, and the attacker is in.
🎯 What’s scary? Most security programs don’t even simulate this attack vector.
🔍 This is a massive blind spot. And cybercriminals know it.
🛡️ Forward-leaning CISOs are now pressure-testing MFA workflows using advanced simulations – especially QR-based authentication flows.
💡 AUMINT Trident was built for this moment. We simulate poisoned QR code attacks, track weak spots by department, and deliver customized defenses across your org.
