Naga Munchetty Apologises Live After Segment Blunder on BBC Breakfast

BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty found herself apologizing live on air during a recent broadcast after mistakenly revealing a new term, 'quishing,' which relates to QR code scams. Her co-host Charlie Stayt noted her slip-up just before a segment, leading reporter Peter Ruddick to express his frustration by saying, 'You've ruined my reveal.' Munchetty quickly apologized, explaining that the mistake occurred due to not reading the autocue. Ruddick then elaborated on 'quishing,' highlighting how scammers use fraudulent QR codes to redirect individuals to phishing sites aimed at stealing personal information. The national fraud reporting center reported a significant increase in such scams, with 1,386 cases logged last year, compared to just 100 in 2019. Experts warn that these scams are increasingly targeting contactless payment locations and everyday activities.
