QR codes essentially just encode text, as long as you're using a sensible QR code reader and check any URLs before opening them there's minimal risk to scanning a QR code.

Or xss/sqli/etc attacks on vulnerable sites that don't sanitize url query parameters

Or maybe a fraudulent signal app.

I mean, generally speaking, just don't click on random links. This is a random link. Qr codes are valuable but we're conditioning society to just be cool with clicking on random shit without putting much thought into it.
