FBI Report: Attackers Are Sending Physical Packages with Malicious QR Codes

The FBI has issued an advisory warning that scammers are distributing QR code phishing (quishing) links via unsolicited packages sent by snail mail. Recipients may scan the code to find out where the package came from, which will land them on a phishing page. This is a variation of a “brushing scam,” where unscrupulous vendors send packages designed to harvest information that can be used in phony positive reviews.

Anatomy of a Vishing Scam

I hear about a ton of similar-sounding scam calls, where the scammer is pretending to be from a service you use (or used), offering you a substantial monthly discount (30% or more) if you pay some fee ahead of time. Sometimes they take the advance fee using your credit card, and sometimes they tell you that you have to get store gift cards. Who would possibly believe that a legitimate vendor would want them to pay with store gift cards? Hundreds of thousands of people.

The Memcyco FM Show: Episode 10 - Stopping Fake Mobile Apps and Account Takeover (ATO)

Fake apps are the latest evolution of brand impersonation, and they’re proving just as dangerous as phishing sites. Fraudsters clone legitimate mobile apps, publish them on official app stores, and trick users into entering credentials — which are then reused in the real app before anyone notices. Given that over 60% of web traffic is now mobile, this form of phishing-driven credential reuse has become one of the top blind spots in mobile fraud defense. Yet most mobile security tools can’t detect it — because they don’t know where those credentials came from.

The MemcycoFM Show: Episode 9 - Automated Brand Impersonation Protection: How It Works

Automated brand impersonation protection has become a baseline requirement for digital security. As phishing operations scale across web domains, mobile app stores, social platforms, and ad networks, attackers are moving faster and operating more broadly than ever before. Traditional defenses – periodic scans, manual takedowns, post-incident analysis – are too slow and too shallow. Today’s security teams need a real-time system that detects brand impersonation threats from the earliest reconnaissance stage through live user engagement, and neutralizes them before customer trust, credentials, or revenue are compromised.
