I wrote about QR Code and cyber security over on CyberAwake back in June.
Now BleepingComputer is reporting on “Your Boyfriend cheated” posters, which include a QR code and have been put up across the UK.
Clickbaity or genius? ‘BF cheated on you’ QR codes pop up across UK (bleepingcomputer.com)
The reporter watched a “student” take a photo of the poster – they did not ask her if her name was Emily. The QR code does not go to a proof video but to company website. The poster is part of a “shockvertising” campaign the company is running – a response to BleepingComputer says they are have a high response rate.
But before you scan a QR code i an unexpected public place, have a read of this:
