With a trick, one can bypass the payment system of a well-known laundry company. Two students reported the “error,” but the company did not respond. The two students have now published the hack to draw the company’s attention. No one should long-term benefit from the fraud and deprive the company of its money in this way.
No space for a washing machine or only for a few months in a city, so buying a washing machine does not make sense: There are many reasons why one uses a laundromat instead of having their own machine.
Operators of such laundromats then charge a fee so that users can wash their laundry. Two students have now discovered how to trick the software in a laundromat. They have gone public with it because the operating company did not respond.
The affected company ignored all hints from the two students
What exactly did the two do? As reported by the portal TechSpot, they are two university students from California. Like many others, they use the laundry on campus to wash their clothes. There, you pay money when you want to wash your laundry.
However, instead of paying with cash, the two students decided to use CSC Go: This is an app that connects with “CSC ServiceWorks” machines in regions such as the USA, Canada, and Europe.
When one of the students did not have enough money for the laundry, he ran a script. This activated the machine, and he was able to wash his clothes easily and for free. The two then tested this “error” again and always came to the same result: they can wash their clothes for free in this way. However, that is not the official intention of the system.
This is what the two students did: However, the two did not want to exploit the system and therefore contacted the operating company. But it did not respond to the students’ hints. After more than 5 months, the error still exists.
For this reason, the two students decided to make the error public with the intention that an employee from CSC ServiceWorks would notice the issue. Otherwise, thousands of people worldwide can wash their clothes without spending a single cent.
Others are not so honest: Between 2017 and 2019, three teenagers in Spain developed a method to scam Amazon. But Amazon caught the three fraudsters, and now the individuals must go to prison for one year: Three teenagers scammed Amazon for years with a trick – earned almost 350,000 euros and then got caught
