This Key Will Self-Destruct: An Open Standard for Revocable API Keys

SecurityWeek opinion piece proposes ORKS, an open standard adding issuer prefixes, discovery files, and unauthenticated revocation endpoints to make leaked API keys quickly revocable.

The article argues that plain API keys leak frequently yet lack any standardized revocation mechanism, unlike OAuth tokens which gained RFC 7009 revocation in 2013, and that GitHub's Secret Scanning Partner Program solves this only in a proprietary, invite-only way. The author proposes ORKS (Open Revocable Key Standard), with a draft spec on GitHub, built on four parts: keys embedding their issuer domain in a fixed prefix format, a discoverable /.well-known/api-key-config JSON file, unauthenticated revocation by possession of the full key, and declared constraints such as IP allowlists, expiry, scopes, and mTLS. An optional quarantine mode inspired by Toyota's andon cord restricts a reported key to read-only and throttled operation for a default 24-hour window before automatic revocation. The piece frames AI agents as making this urgent, since agents hold many credentials, can exfiltrate them via prompt injection, and can leak secrets into logs at machine speed.

Microsoft Teams is about to make QR code phishing much harder

Microsoft Teams will obscure QR codes from external senders starting October 2026, adding friction against QR-code phishing across Android, desktop, iOS, and Mac.

Microsoft 365 Roadmap entry 570439 describes a Teams feature that obscures images containing QR codes sent by external users, requiring users to reveal them before viewing or scanning. Rollout is expected to begin in October 2026 for Android, desktop, iOS, and Mac. The feature aims to reduce QR code phishing risk, which NordVPN says has redirected more than 26 million users to malicious websites, with 73% of Americans scanning codes without verifying destinations.
