An article by Paula Ebben published on the CBS Boston website.
This article warns that QR codes can be used to steal information, or provide links to cites that authorize charges to your cell phone without your approval.
The article states, "You can’t really tell what information is stored in that code until after you have scanned it and that could be a problem according to malware expert Tim Armstrong. “There is danger inherent in using these types of systems. They can link to malicious websites or phising pages just as easily as they can link to legitimate information,” he said."
According to the article protections are being developed to try and limit this problem.
