Well, the new Google ReCaptcha is awful, sheesh

It's a QR code you have to scan with a "proper" device - aka with Google Services installed

Goodbye last 10 years of phishing awareness, time to scan random QRs without a thought while you are purchasing things, woo! Seriously what were they thinking?

And because it's recommended to be put in "high risk" places, people will expect them to be seen there, and so a scam/phishing QR will be so much easier to slip in.

@AestheticFemboy @saphire all it takes for malicious script or extenstion is to replace a qr code with a payment link now.
And get people massively sending you money from their bank apps at smartphones by scanning payment qr codes at a checkout.

@saphire Seriously? You are only human if you own spy device from Google? :-( Better customer protection is needed, I'm afraid.
