Suspicious Reverb message - anyone seen this?


Recommended Posts

Hi folks

 

This just popped into my messages.  Looks dodgy to me.  Why would Reverb Support use Daniel's Gear Locker as their account?

Why would anyone blindly follow a QR code, especially for something important? You have absolutely no idea where you are going to end up. Security 101 - don't use QR codes!

All links direct you away from reverb. Come on: step + reverb + com or eu + de + stor? But if you think they are fine, you can deposit £2000, no £5000 to my account on number GB12 3456 7890 1357 90, just in case...

Interestingly, you’d be surprised how many organisations still push them. 
 

I’m a security architect for work, and remember going into a high profile insurance provider based in London and noticed they were pushing security info on screens (awesome!), except to get more info you had to scan a random QR code. The same code was printed out around the office. I told them to find a better way, and to train the users or we’d be burned. 
 

Few weeks later, there was a red team (simulated attack) performed and lo-and-behold they gained access via QR code. 
 

Temptation was immense to say “told you so”.
