AI6YR BenApparently someone is sticking fake "Parking Payment" QR codes on parking meters in Manhattan Beach (California). <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/qrcodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qrcodes</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scam</a> 2025-04-01 13:26:52 PDTThe City warns residents and visitors about a scam involving unauthorized QR codes for parking payments. Currently, there are no QR codes for online payments at parking meters or pay stations.Please avoid using any QR codes you come across, as they may lead to fraudulent sites. Only use official payment methods.Report any suspicious activity to our Police Department. Stay safe and vigilant!If you see a QR Code on a parking meter, do not scan it. Contact Manhattan Beach Police at (310) 545-4566.<a href="https://member.everbridge.net/311578402488335/notif/YuHHaxdfx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://member.everbridge.net/311578402488335/notif/YuHHaxdfx</a>

Elyse M GrassoI have seen article claiming that <a href="https://historians.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> is going to switch to requiring use of <a href="https://historians.social/tags/QRcodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QRcodes</a> (which I loathe) in order to use <a href="https://historians.social/tags/gmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gmail</a>, sometime in the not too distant future. The other email that I have used in the past gradually became useless in recent years (I suspect Gmail of blocking smaller mail servers) so I have just finished migrating everything to my gmail address, but it looks like I now need to migrate elsewhere. Can people recommend a reliable email service?

Terence Eden🆕 blog! “Why are QR Codes with capital letters smaller than QR codes with lower-case letters?”Take a look at these two QR codes.

Scan them if you like, I promise there's nothing dodgy in them. <a class="" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/caps.png" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[🖼 QR CODE]</a>   <a class="" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/lower.png" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[🖼 QR Code.]</a> Left is upper-case <code>HTTPS://EDENT.TEL/</code> and right is lower-case <code>https://edent.tel/</code>You can clearly see that the one on the left is a "smaller" QR as it has fewer bits of data in it. Both go to the same URl, the only difference is the casing.What's going on?Your first thought might be that there's a different level of error-correction. QR codes can have increasing levels of redundancy in order to make sure they can be scanned when damaged. But, in this case, they both have Low error correction.The smaller code is "Type 1" - it is 21px * 21px. The larger is "Type 2" with 25px * 25px.The <a href="https://www.qrcode.com/en/about/version.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">official specification</a> describes the versions in more details. The smaller code should be able to hold 25 alphanumeric character. But <code>https://edent.tel/</code> is only 18 characters long. So why is it bumped into a larger code?Using a decoder like <a href="https://zxing.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ZXING</a> it is possible to see the raw bytes of each code.UPPER<pre><code>20 93 1a a6 54 63 dd 28   35 1b 50 e9 3b dc 00 ec 11 ec 11</code></pre>lower:<pre><code>41 26 87 47 47 07 33 a2   f2 f6 56 46 56 e7 42 e7 46 56 c2 f0 ec 11 ec 11   ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11 ec 11</code></pre>You might have noticed that they both end with the same sequence: <code>ec 11</code> Those are "padding bytes" because the data needs to completely fill the QR code. But - hang on! - not only does the UPPER one safely contain the text, it also has some spare padding?The answer lies in the first couple of bytes.Once the raw bytes have been read, a QR scanner needs to know exactly what sort of code it is dealing with. <a href="https://www.thonky.com/qr-code-tutorial/data-encoding#step-3-add-the-mode-indicator" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The first four bits tell it the mode</a>. Let's convert the hex to binary and then split after the first four bits:TypeHEXBINSplitUPPER<code>20 93</code><code>00100000 10010011</code><code>0010 000010010011</code>lower<code>41 26</code><code>01000001 00100110</code><code>0100 000100100110</code>The UPPER code is <code>0010</code> which indicates it is Alphanumeric - the standard says the next 9 bits show the length of data.The lower code is <code>0100</code> which indicates it is Byte mode - the standard says the next 8 bits show the length of data.TypeHEXBINSplitUPPER<code>20 93</code><code>00100000 10010011</code><code>0010 0000 10010</code>lower<code>41 26</code><code>01000001 00100110</code><code>0100 000 10010</code>Look at that! They both have a length of <code>10010</code> which, converted to binary, is 18 - the exact length of the text.Alphanumeric users 11 bits for every two characters, Byte mode uses (you guessed it!) 8 bits per single character.But why is the lower-case code pushed into Byte mode? Isn't it using letters and number?Well, yes. But in order to store data efficiently, Alphanumeric mode only has <a href="https://www.thonky.com/qr-code-tutorial/alphanumeric-table" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a limited subset of characters available</a>. Upper-case letters, and a handful of punctuation symbols: <code>space $ % * + - . / :</code>Luckily, that's enough for a protocol, domain, and path. Sadly, no GET parameters.So, there you have it. If you want the smallest possible physical size for a QR code which contains a URl, make sure the text is all in capital letters.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/qr/" target="_blank">#qr</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/tag/qr-codes/" target="_blank">#QRCodes</a>

The other thing to consider is that it is easy to create a fake URL that looks legitimate (e.g. with Cyrillic characters) and will fool most people at a glance. These fake URLs may even have a valid security certificate!

Anomnomnomaly BSC SSCPublic Warning.If you EVER, and I do mean EVER see a QR code for anything... not just some things, ANYTHING.Treat it as a scam, do not scan it, they can easily be covered up with malicious redirects to fake sites to steal your financial details. Direct you to malware sites to try and infect your device.Treat them all the same... as toxic, potential harmful to your identity and security.Never trust them... EVER!!!If you 100% must use one, do what you should be doing at any (ATM) cash machine, check for devices that have been installed by crooks. See if you can peel the code off, not just at the area around the code, but the whole sign... look for anything unusual and if you have any doubts... even if it's 1% doubt... DON'T USE ITThis isn't scaremongering, scammers and thieves are out there every day, placing fake QR codes on signs all over the place. No where is safe from them. The way to win is not to play. Don;t buy into the enshitification of everything, don;t be told that you can ONLY do it one specific way (legally they have to offer more than one way to pay for a service).Please boost and spread the word.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/QRCodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QRCodes</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ScamQRCodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScamQRCodes</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Scammers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scammers</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Thieves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thieves</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/IdentityTheft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IdentityTheft</a>
