This week, me and my brother, Stefan Ferseta, won the Bronze Medal at one of the oldest IT Olympiads, national level: Digital Innovation and Creation Olympiad.
One cool fact.
To support our project, we printed several QR codes and stick them in Focsani city and in the college that hosted the event.
In less than 24 hours, 200+ people (teens and adults) scanned the QR code, that lead to https://lab.vianuhack.club/free-vbucks-1001-exe/
Everywhere on that page was the WARNING to stop scanning unknown QR codes, because it is dangerous. But, while there are there, they can win a hat if the fill up a form.
The form, again, was full with warnings, NOT to give away their data… And we asked there also for the national ID full data, plus their credit card details, including the secret 3 digits number on the back.
I’ll let you guess how many gave us all their data!. We were surprised to see theoretically smart teens, from the same Olympiad, that they diligently took from their wallets their national ID card + the credit card, so they can complete properly the form for that hat.
PS. The hat costs $3
PPS. Thanks to miss Corina Vint, my IT teacher, for helping us to get this opportunity.
