Our phishing training specifically says don’t scan random QR codes or nfc tags.
I mean, random NFC tags, I can understand. But, isn’t advising someone to avoid QR codes obsolete by now? It was a pretty worthwhile attack vector at one point, but nowadays most phones will ask “Do you want to <handle> <contents in full>?” before actually doing anything with it…
Although, now that I think about it, it is best practice to advise to the lowest common denominator… Sometimes I overestimate users’ ability to avoid doing stupid things…
That process is safe until it’s not. There may be an exploit there waiting to be discovered. Thst exploit will never happen if you just don’t.
Yeah but it’s not random. It’s a business card. Surely some trust in other people can be possible.
If you’re in a vaguely sensitive industry, there’s going to be a few people seeing what they can get into at those conferences.
This is especially true of things like cyber security conferences, or tech. They’ll be crawling with corporate spies.
Actually, I’d say any major trade or industry conference is going to have corporate spies and more… eh, freelance trying to see what they can get into.
So the question becomes: have you/your company run a background check on that guy? No? Then why the hell do you trust him?
Because he paid $10k for a booth to talk about bird safe window tinting, and can actually answer questions about bird safe window tinting. Dude wants to go through all that work into maybe fooling me into giving up my work login credentials, more power to him.
