AWS Launches Improvements for Key Quarantine Policy
Recently, AWS expanded the scope of their AWSCompromisedKeyQuarantine policies (v2 and v3) to include new actions.

However, this convenience also makes them a major target for cybercriminals who exploit their popularity. The hidden nature of QR data can easily redirect users to malicious content or phishing sites without their knowledge. With the growing risks tied to this technology, businesses need to implement more advanced security measures. Simple practices like regularly checking code destinations and verifying source authenticity can help reduce vulnerabilities.
