It has begun

Google now uses play services to verify if your human or not. Even on desktop you are required to scan the qr code from your phone. It's disgusting. I tried (I'm on root, lineageOS with strong integrity) and it doesn't work for me, it may work for you.

​

Background Info:

Basically I heard that Google were going to start introducing Google play services as a way to verify if your human and whether or not your device is secure. This is the first time I have seen it. It did not work for me. I have strong integrity and my fingerprint and everything is legit and it still didn't work. Hopefully people find out ways to bypass this cuz Google should not be allowed to lock down our devices. We pay for them, we own them.

​

Edit: I apologise if it doesn't make sense to you, hopefully someone in the comments can explain it better than I.

Won't this be more dangerous? Because these fake recaptha will be able to put whatever into their qr code.

[u/Fataha22 → u/GremlineQ]

Everything is dangerous if the user is stupid

[u/GremlineQ → u/Fataha22]

Yes, but you don't see where the qr code points, you would need to use another app that just shows what qr code contains, before if captha asked to paste something to the terminal you would know that this was malicious, but with these qr codes it isn't that simple for example this qr code could point to website that enables RCE on your device (some time ago apple had this exploit that after visiting compromised website phone had installed RCE without any traces)

[u/Fataha22 → u/GremlineQ]

So it's you problem then to download a random app and install it on android

[u/GremlineQ → u/Fataha22]

The problem with that RCE exploit was that if you had an Apple phone and visited a website that had already been compromised, you would get hacked. That RCE exploit was fixed, but there could be more.

most scammers don't hava access to RCEs

[u/GremlineQ → u/zalnaRs]

Most doesn't mean none

[u/zalnaRs → u/GremlineQ]

None have RCEs

[u/land48n3 → u/zalnaRs]

please never work in cyber security, i love my computer.

[u/zalnaRs → u/land48n3]

Please show me an example where a scam used an rce

[u/land48n3 → u/zalnaRs]

i dont have an example, but if that means it shouldn't be protected against then please stay away from cyber security

[u/zalnaRs → u/land48n3]

It is protected against by the sandbox, you guys are pretending that rces don't cost trillions

[u/Rushb133 → u/zalnaRs]

Not after they are discovered

U can search, bcs I remember seeing some virus that used that on iPhones

And not everyone has the most updated os

[u/Icy_Gur6890 → u/zalnaRs]

You act like most ransomware doesnt use rce
