Does anybody configure their phone to automatically scan photos for QR codes and visit the links?
I think as a precaution, barcode scanners stopped automatically going to links.
Even if a link isn’t malicious, you can still get someone’s IP address or device fingerprint.
IP would not be an issue, your phone is behind cgnat when using a mobile connection
I configure my phone to automatically follow the links from scammer texts.
My phone’s camera app just doesn’t scan qr codes. It’s actually really frustrating. I refuse to install a specific qr scanner, but I’d still like the ability to scan a menu code at restaurants or to get the WiFi connection at a hotel…
Mine scans but doesn’t follow (and it doesn’t scan in video mode)
Depending on what they plan to use the video for, a middle finger can be sufficient.
Having worked in TV news, I’ve long thought the way arrested politicians or whoever that are trying to avoid being filmed leaving a courthouse by holding a folder or coat in front of their face should instead just hold both middle fingers up right in front of their face. The image won’t be used, and if it is, it will make it very clear how they feel about the citizens.
here’s an idea : let it redirect to a URL but with it’s query params tweaked so it automatically attempts an SQL injection on the website when loading
Outsourcing hacking? Not bad.
Sounds a bit Snowcrashy.
So I thought I pulled a great prank once. I made a QR code that directed to lemonparty. I used an online sticker service’s free trial to print a bunch up with my friend’s Instagram at the bottom. I travel all over for work so I was going to put them everywhere.
My problem was I printed them in yellow and they wouldn’t scan. I told my friend and he thought it was a funny idea just like I knew he would, not a malicious prank. Wish it had worked.
