Google Fixes Glass Vulnerability To Malicious QR Codes

[wraggster]

Google has fixed a vulnerability in its Glass device, which made it possible to fool the wearable gadget into joining malicious Wi-Fi networks (http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/google-glass-security-vulnerability-internet-of-things-122073), through the use of fake QR codes. Google fixed the flaw fast, following a tip-off from researchers — but there are two warnings to take from this. There are other weaknesses in Glass (such as the absence of a lockscreen), and this sort of weakness will increasingly hit as the Internet of Things takes hold and the number of communicating devices multiplies."
