Fake Boarding Pass App Gets Hacker into Fancy Airline Lounges
- netsharc 10y agoDear Wired, it's not QR, it's Aztec Code (http://www.howtobarcode.net/howtobarcode/barcode-types/images/2d-barcd-image.png http://www.howtobarcode.net/howtobarcode/barcode-types/image...) Call it a 2d barcode if you want to generalize it.
- eatbitseveryday 10y agoReminds me of when skiplagged[1] became available, exploiting pricing differences for long flights of unpopular trips but hopping out half-way through. I wouldn't be surprised if there were many more such simple hacks available to exploit in the airline industry. [1] https://skiplagged.com/ https://skiplagged.com/
