Stopped at a bar in the Sprawl for a bit to tie a couple on.
The bar has QR code stickers on the napkin holders along the bar that take patrons to the food menu.
Had to explain to the bartender that this is a vulnerable spot for these codes, and someone could, if they wanted to, slap another sticker over this one with a QR code that can either lead to a harmless prank, or worse, malware.
They thanked me and asked how I know this stuff. Told them I'm a hacker; this is the kind of shit we would either do or fight against. Got their attention pretty quickly and they asked me so many things.
I may be chaotic, but deep down I know I'm good. #hackerlife
