@amckinstry Hm, are there any good countermeasures?

@amckinstry That would only help against malware, I suspect mostly it will be a phishing webpage replacing the payment page. @anghenfil It seems to me that a quick improvement would be a standard text copy of the domain name immediately on top of the QR code, so that a phone could compare the URL and someone would be suspicious of a QR code labelled "scam_me.ru". @anghenfil @rugk This is where domain registrars should be earning their money. @amckinstry @anghenfil @rugk If you’re registering the domain name then you’re the registrar’s income stream. They’re not going to want to block you for any reason. And criminals are probably excellent customers because they need to register new domains all the time as the authorities shut down the old ones. To presume that the registrars would put the public’s interest ahead of their own seems very optimistic. @anghenfil @amckinstry |
@anghenfil Are there malware checkers on any QR code reader for Android / IPhone ?
