I didn’t know my city was cool enough to put signal flyers.
Cool but I wouldnt exactly trust a random qr code
QR codes essentially just encode text, as long as you’re using a sensible QR code reader and check any URLs before opening them there’s minimal risk to scanning a QR code.
I still wouldn’t trust it because of homograph attacks.
Respectfully I think this is a minimal attack vector in this case due to the limited character set of urls. But thanks for the callout, I didn’t know there was a name for this sort of attack.
Or xss/sqli/etc attacks on vulnerable sites that don’t sanitize url query parameters
Oh is that like bankofarnerica.com or whatever, hoping the r and n look enough like an m for at least some people to click?
edit: under absolutely no circumstances click on the above link. Your bank will be robbed and your foreskin soldered shut. To very don’t.
Well not really, it’s a good way to do a IDN homograph attack
I may have in the past put lyrics from “Never Gonna You Up” or links to the music video on YouTube in QR codes I printed on blank business cards and left them in public places around town.
That’s wanderful!
Surely it’s legit
EDIT: It actually is
Yup. I cropped the QR code and checked it with an online reader, and it’s literally signal.org
I wander what it means
It probably it is a person putting up flyers
