I don't know how well it would scale, but from an ease-of-use perspective it feels like Quishing (eyes roll - QR Phishing) is a plague waiting to explode.
"Just scan this and donate to the red cross!". My kid's afterschool provider had some sign up form for an event they're hosting - with a QR Code to sign up / pay - which was some random third party provider. Legitimate, but _painfully_ easy to spoof...

- toast0 2y ago> links to goatse The Email service? why would people link to that? :P

- fckgw 2y agoThere was an explosion about 6-7 months ago reported on Reddit in the amount of phishing emails with QR codes in them. Because they have no URLs in them and the actual phishing happens off-device with no endpoint security, they seem to be bypassing a lot of filters. https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/16oh8ar/how_is_everyone_mitigating_the_increase_in/ https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/16oh8ar/how_is_ev... https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/16mn6ve/how_do_you_deal_with_qishing_qr_phishing_at_your/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/16mn6ve/how_...
- gs17 2y agoThe parking here in Nashville got privatized (and made much worse, even 1 minute costs $2 now and no more free times/days) and the pay method uses a QR code. I am amazed no one has gone around putting fake QR codes on the signs. They'd even work better, the non-standard codes they printed don't really scan well.
