@[email protected] 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_[email protected]'s "QR Scanner", that requires only minimal permissions, and lets you scrutinize the content before any action is taken.

@[email protected] I don’t like them and won’t scan them for anything at all. Thanks for the warning though.
