Here's another privacy issue and extra-carefulness is always needed!
There are a lot of people who use QR codes to share different data (also to share bitcoin or other cryptos) from their smartphones and the article below states the risks of using QR codes.

I read these things few months earlier where QR codes were manipulated from what it supposed to be with device security issues so always prefer to use bitcoin address over QR codes and double check the address even if you copy pasted it because of clipboard bugs can cause to lose bitcoins as well.
