Threats uncovered: QR code exploits offer personal and business risks — from technative.io by Len Noe
Excerpts:
Cyber attackers have quickly caught onto QR codes as a social vulnerability and attacks using them as the vector are on the rise.

Through research, I discovered a variety of ways QR codes can be used maliciously, to steal not only personal information but provide a solid base of information from which to attack an organisation.
