I sure hope no one shares that link, leading to a subsequent spike in traffic and possibly taking the site down as a result. That would be a really shameful thing to see happen.
if it automatically goes to that website and the website downloads malware to your device, well, I wonder…
Certainly trackers could be put on you that way. I am convinced that is why TAILS makes you go to their website before it allows you to go to the Dark Web or Tor.
I would really like to see this dangerous barcode. I assume something like that would just be a website QR code.
From what I’ve seen, it’s a QR code that links to a website which logs your IP address, along with other details.
Probably for targeted (or not so) hacking attacks. Heck might be a zero-day attack-kit on the web-page (probably geo-locked to the region).

Not to mention the data corruption since the visitors would no longer be limited to the target area!
