If you scan a unique QR code on your table, and that code takes you to a URL full of ads and FB/G trackers, those trackers will be able to attach to your profile the fact you've visited the restaurant and perhaps get a more accurate picture of your finances or even your diet, if the restaurant shares this data. Later this info can be bought by insurance providers or some doordash type of services.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoThat’s well understood by the audience here. It’s also a LONG way from: >"As soon as I scanned the QR code, a sum of Rs 32,000 was withdrawn from my account. Then the caller switched off his phone and was unreachable thereafter," The article is mostly BS I’m pretty sure. A bunch of possible but not plausible Android hacking anecdotes that may or may not have happened that mislead by pretending this is a QR or restaurant problem.
