Why you should not scan QR codes for Vortex links
You cannot read a QR code with your eyes, which is exactly the problem.
Hidden content
A QR code can contain any address. You only see what it points to after scanning.
Swapped stickers and images
Codes in posts or images are easy to replace with one that points to a lookalike vortex link.
Scanner apps
Some scanner apps open links automatically or log them. Avoid them for sensitive addresses.
A safer habit
Copy the address as text from a checked source instead, and compare it before opening.
