<li><strong>North Korean hackers exploit QR codes for credential theft</strong>: The FBI attributes recent malicious QR code spear-phishing campaigns to North Korean state-sponsored hackers (Kimsuky/APT43), targeting U.S. think tanks, academic institutions, and government entities. These ‘quishing’ attacks use fake login pages for Microsoft 365, Okta, and VPNs to harvest credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication via session token theft. The FBI warns that QR codes bypass traditional enterprise detection tools as mobile devices are often unmanaged, as detailed in their advisory. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XmPhFlPf5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>GameStop continues its slow, painful demise</strong>: GameStop is closing another 390 stores in the US, on top of 590 last year, and exiting four European countries. Meanwhile, CEO Ryan Cohen got a $35 million bonus, contingent on raising the market cap to $100 billion. Because nothing says ‘turnaround’ like shuttering stores and giving the boss a bonus tied to a fantasy valuation, as reported by various financial outlets. Clearly, the future of gaming is in physical discs and executive compensation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/t6Y3Ssj5q" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-assisted ‘vibe coding’ for non-programmers: what could go wrong?</strong>: UX Planet is pushing ‘vibe coding,’ an AI-assisted workflow where non-programmers describe desired experiences, let AI generate code, and then ‘iterate through conversational refinements.’ Apparently, this ‘collapses the gap between idea and prototype,’ making software creation accessible to everyone. Because who needs structured programming, technical specs, or, you know, actual programming knowledge when you have ‘intuition’ and an AI that ‘embraces unexpected suggestions’? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/aMJGb9yq4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Russian APT28’s ‘sophisticated’ credential harvesting: free hosting and fake login pages</strong>: Russian state-sponsored group APT28 (Fancy Bear) conducted credential harvesting campaigns using localized phishing emails, legitimate-looking PDF lures, and fake login pages mimicking Sophos VPN and Microsoft Outlook. Their infrastructure? Free hosting services like InfinityFree and ngrok. No complex malware, just good old-fashioned phishing. It’s almost endearing how low-tech these ‘state-sponsored’ operations can be, proving you don’t need a billion-dollar budget to steal credentials, just a decent spam filter bypass. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/bNDY7v5ay" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
