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.

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.

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