Years ago when I lived in Canterbury, they brought in a phone to pay thing for parking. I wrote a letter to Canterbury city council saying this was a bad idea as someone could put a sticker over the phone number, and scam people for their credit card details. CCC said this wasn't a realistic attack, and they proceeded with the roll out.
The phone number is now a QR code.
And I was fucking right.

@quixoticgeek CCC being Canterbury City council, I assume?
because the other CCC (Chaos computer club) would definitely have agreed

@quixoticgeek I recently saw a QR code on a poster that had text next to it that read something like "if this QR code appears to have been tampered with, do not use". Way to acknowledge the threat while doing absolutely nothing to mitigate it.
