Unexpected parcel scams: brushing, quishing, and more

📦 Delivery scams now include evolved brushing and QR-based "quishing" campaigns that use unsolicited packages or printed postcards to trick recipients into visiting malicious sites, paying fake fees, or installing malware. Scammers may include QR codes, phone numbers, or counterfeit tracking cards to extract payment data, one-time codes, or to prompt app installs. Never scan printed QR codes or call numbers on unexpected parcels; verify shipments via official courier channels and avoid connecting unknown USB devices. Enable two-factor authentication and report suspicious packages to the courier and police.
