For those who don’t know, it’s where someone takes a QR code like on a poster for a concert and puts a sticker with a different QR code on top to a fake website that looks like the concert website (or a Rick Roll).
The obvious answer is to scratch off the QR code if you notice it’s a sticker, but It’s not always acceptable -or legal- to start damaging stuff to check if it’s real or not. Also what if it’s out of reach on a sign or something?
You can’t put a little text under saying what the website is as a sort of checksum because the vandal can just write their own website under their sticker.
You do that when you want Hegseths phone, ASAP, for a few million.
You do this first to see if you can get there ahead of time for $1000.
Or just wait until the next National Security Advisor drunk text you…
