Hacking Starbucks Gift Card System with Computer Science
In 2015, software engineer Egor Homokov exploited a bug in Starbucks' gift card system that effectively gained him unlimited coffee. Here's how he did it.
Big shout out to Egor who discovered this bug: http://sakurity.com/blog/2015/05/21/s...
Also if you want to see another really cook application of this concept I highly recommend nang's video as he actually performs this for a boba shop: • Unlimited Free Boba with Computer Science
