@mcc I'm more concerned with malware QR codes - click this link for goodies and you get owned by some "nose candy script kid" that encrypts your phone and then computer for a hefty ransom -- which should never be paid. Just imagine someone sticks a new QR code at a cafe and then performs a MITM. It's transparent for the cafe, for cafe customers. It would be just worse than the old ATM & POS card copiers. All our lifes, identity & security relies on a secure phone. It's a nightmare in waiting 😒

There are proof of concept examples of people gluing their own QR codes on signage in public places. Example isn't jumping out at me right now though.
