rockSlayer, This article is pointless, I mean it doesn’t even have a step-by-step to make sure no one exploits it. I certainly would never use a bug in software to get free laundry.
agentshags, Interesting article. I had a good chuckle thinking about college kids getting free clean clothes. The bit about adding several million dollars to their laundry account was also humorous. Too bad the company wiped out their account. They should have just left it there and fixed the security flaw as a way to say thanks for the heads up. Like you saved us a ton of money, keep your several million dollars and have free laundry for life LOL. Not quite the run of the mill security flaw I would have been expecting to read about
aeronmelon, Snitches. Let the starving college students wear clean clothes.
I don’t know if CSC’s response is laziness or compassion.
umbrella, neither, its penny pinching
SpaceNoodle, Definitely laziness. They already laid off or ended the contract of whichever fresh college grad from Jordan they had set up both the app and server for a couple hundred bucks, so while there’s nobody to fix the flaws, there’s also no ongoing maintenance costs, so they’re not really losing any money.
