> They can do that already just by placing their logo, or whatever, instead of a QR code

What in the world are you on about? Just slapping a logo on top of a QR code suggests to me you’ve lost the plot. The point is to hide your attempt at subverting the “attack”. You’re specifically trying to get the person to go to some other site in the normal process of scanning a QR code. Covering the original QR code with a logo would be obvious some subterfuge is at hand, and totally defeats the purpose. How is that not obvious to you?

> I was giving you a breakdown as to why people don’t do the kind of QR attacks / jokes that you seem to assume are common place rather than just saying “nice theory but that doesn’t happen in the real world”. There’s no need for you to be snarky

Again, you've lost the plot. Now, you're no longer even discussing anything but referencing the rules.

what discussion are you actually wanting to have, because you've now changed it 3 times

I’ve consistently been talking about how QR codes are not dangerous. The last post was just asking for you to tone down the ad hominem attacks.

I’m happy to discuss QR codes with yourself but I only if you can be civil. Otherwise why would I want to chat further if you’re just going to be rude in all of your comments?
