Needless to say, don’t scan any random QR-codes you get spammed with here.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al You're the third person I've seen talking about these today but I've not come across them yet, thankfully. Bet I can guess which instance they're coming from though.

At least use a privacy-friendly, secure scanner like @SECUSO_Research@xn--baw-joa.social's "QR Scanner", that requires only minimal permissions, and lets you scrutinize the content before any action is taken.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al I don’t like them and won’t scan them for anything at all. Thanks for the warning though.
