  "In response to queries, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) said SingCERT has not received reports of malicious QR codes in Singapore." So not a single case in tens of millions transactions. Seems like no point in posting since it isn't actually a problem in practice. It is also clear that it is only really a problem for the vendor, who doesn't receive the money, not the customer, who already has the service/product.

    > So not a single case in tens of millions transactions Citation needed. And I doubt it given that it's working since Monday. Also to take into account that Singapore is basically a city, so as a sample it's not very representative.

      Singapore has been using QR codes for years, not just since Monday.

        The one we're talking about is since Monday. There are others in place, displayed in tablets/screens, dynamically generated and cryptographically secure. This is printed, like the fraud-ridden Chinese codes, so it's vulnerable to the "sticker attack".
