QR codes are not inherently dangerous. They're effectively links we can click in the real world using the camera app on our phone. Like hyperlinks on a web page, QR code "links" can take you to good websites or bad websites. They can also disguise their ultimate destination by using URL shortening services like bitly or owly. But now "free" QR code generator websites - that is, sites that will let you create one of these QR codes by entering the HTTP link you want it to take people to - are using these redirects to basically hold your QR code for ransom. The QR codes they give you use the redirect links to insert themselves into the middle - and after some time, they will stop working until you subscribe and pay them money. If you've already printed these codes on hundreds of business cards or dozens of plaques for your restaurant, they they've really got you over a barrel. I'll help you avoid these scams.

On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s security news, including: DPRK offers free 0day to researchers, with a pretty significant catch SonicWall gets owned because it runs SonicWall gear. Big mistake. Chinese trains didn’t stop running because Flash died :( Dominion to sue Rudy Giuliani for $1.3bn over insecurity claims The sudo bug. Lol. This week’s show is brought to you by Cmd Security, the Linux security company. Its focus has traditionally been on restricting the type of bash commands users can enter. It’s like a control plane for Linux systems. But some of its customers manage their Linux endpoints through different, non-bash entry points. So they’ve added some features to their product to deal with that, which has also resulted in them having an IDR capability. It’s all pretty sensible stuff though, and Cmd co-founder and CEO Jake King will be along to talk us through all of that.
