@mizah@macrofurs.social @Codeberg Well, in the case of the ICAR string as is the focus of the linked video, it doesn't even matter what the application does or does not with the data of the QR code. It's the antivirus software running in the background which recognizes that malware appeared in the memory that application is managing and which locks the system up

@peternerlich
Sure, but for the user the result is the same: Some code crashed their system. And now they'll never ever scan a code from something that looks weird again, no matter if it makes sense or not.

It's just a wild guess, I didn't go into detail, was happy that PassAndroid was accepted. ~f
