Is it possible to block emails containing QR CODE?
- Consider using config analyzer and preset security policies to ensure you always have the latest and greatest protection settings on for your organization.
- You should configure your mobile device policies to use Network Protection and Smart Screen supported browsers (such as Microsoft Edge) to extend protection to your mobile devices against the malicious URLs embedded in the QR Codes.
- We strongly recommend using multi-factor authentication and conditional access to help secure organizational accounts from credential theft.
Thank you for the reply, and yes we have all that in place, but still the "Quishing" mails are in some cases go through as they are designet with the intend to bypass those features/policies, as i tryed to mention, the mails are designed with an image imbedded in the body, that image is then a pigture of a QR code, this is just one way they can avoid detection by antiphishing, and i do not see any resolutions from MS side remidiate this.

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jeffrey-appel-nl_microsoftsecurity-aitm-activity-7112903449670754304-67ML/ You can create a custom detection rule on Microsoft Defender to act on possible Quishing emails, setup actions to delete the mails or move them to junk (preferable cos of possible false positives)
let image_extensions = dynamic(["jpg", "jpeg", "png", "bmp", "gif"]); EmailAttachmentInfo | where Timestamp > ago(1h) | where FileType in (image_extensions) | where FileName matches regex "^[A-Z0-9]{9,10}\\.[A-Za-z0-9]+$" | where SenderFromAddress !contains "Org domain" //Exclude your corporate domain | where RecipientObjectId != "" | join EmailEvents on NetworkMessageId | where not (EmailDirection has_any ("Intra-org", "Outbound")) | where DeliveryAction != "Blocked" | where DeliveryAction != "Junked" | where not(LatestDeliveryLocation has_any ("Quarantine", "Delete")),
- Hi, I've tried to implement this but I keep having an error in the first ' | ' before the " where Timestamp", this error "the incomplete fragment is unexpected(KS198)"
