QR Code: Time to update your webkit devices if you haven't already

[Slugbait]

Ignore this thread if you use WP7.

The Jester used a QR code for his twitter photo for about a week. He posted the reason why this morning: the destination page was malicious, and can exploit unpatched webkit browsers. He included some code snippets, so expect somebody else to figure out how to do the same thing in the near future.

Barret Brown completely wiped out his twitter account once he found out. Poor guy, he just got raided by the FBI a couple of days ago, and now this happens to him...

Another script fired elevating permissions and raping the SMS logs, call logs, & phonebooks and (as long as the user was using the default out of the box email client) emails stored within.

The Jester is a self-proclaimed "patriot hacker". Usually attacks jihadist websites, but has also attacked WBC numerous times for protesting at the funerals of fallen soldiers. Became famous for taking wikileaks offline...and also drew the ire of Anonymous by doing so. There's been a catty cyberwar going on between them ever since.

Barret Brown is a self-described "face of Anonymous" who cashed in with a book deal via Amazon. After he orchestrated OpCartel, he accused Jester of providing Los Zetas his personal info and ran to NY. He was raided the same day that Sabu was outed by the FBI.

Also, it appears I was incorrect about his twitter account...it's still online, although he has yet to tweet today (which is unusual for him).
