    This made me realise it would probably be trivially easy to make QR code stickers that first lead to a phishing page (please enter your payment details) followed by a link to a restaurants actual online ordering page.

    Those restaurant ordering apps look so dodgy anyway I bet a quarter of people wouldn’t suspect a thing.

      No joke. Plus I see them all over airports in various languages. I’m sure many people fall victim to QR code scams
