These incidents are always infuriating to hear about. Every company in the world (whether they are writing software or not) needs a bug bounty program.<p>Although Starbucks is on HackerOne now, so hopefully things are better.<p>As an aside - &quot;would easily make me a couple of millions of dollars&quot; is definitely not true. Discrepancies even in the thousands of dollars would be caught pretty quicky by their accounting software, so please don&#x27;t be tempted to try this.
