This is super common, I knew a guy who knew a guy who could get similar stuff done at another famous social network. A company I know got its short url because the employee snagged it from some nobody and gave it to the company. I don’t feel that this is illegal as it is private company that can do what it want, but a low employee doing this unilaterally is sketchy.
