Am I old fashioned? I treat opening some random QR code with the same hesitation as clicking a random link in an email.
And with a QR code I can't even 'hover' to inspect the link
- floydnoel 6y agoYou can do that with iOS, when you scan a QR it pops a notification showing the domain and asks if you’d like to open it.
- ktkoffroth 6y agoThe same is true for android, at least on a Pixel 2 XL
- kroltan 6y agoDepends on the scanner/camera app, but yes, similar situation for Xiaomi's MIUI builtin camera.
- tinus_hn 6y agoAs a link can be changed just before it activates, hovering over a link to check if it’s malicious is not very useful.
- jpindar 6y agoA QR code contains text. If your QR code reader automatically opens any link it finds in that text, it is defective. You should replace it.
