    I would really like to see this dangerous barcode. I assume something like that would just be a website QR code.

        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).

        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!

      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.
