It definitely is malicious if he actually places orders. Jail seems like a possibility if every restaurant actually is affected.

- Nextgrid 6y agoWouldn't he need to pay to actually place the order though?
- blacksmith_tb 6y agoNot on an internal API I wouldn't think - he's just spoofing that volume of orders from registers, as if customers had walked into all stores and all ordered the same ice cream simultaneously.
- gremlinsinc 6y agoIt's more like they ordered from mobile, but didn't checkin/pickup so they're not wasting food or $$. > to clarify how this works: mcdonald's keeps track which locations have a broken machine, I'm merely querying for those - no order gets executed, no ice cream is actually wasted
- RobRivera 6y agoYes, another case of a little whitd lie to grab eyeballs. Drafting an order and placing an order are 2 distinct states of an order
- fareesh 6y agoIf he's just triggering "Add to Cart" and the system responds with "Ice Cream Machine Broken" then it's relatively less harmful. As he says, it probably messes with their data. Unlikely that he's spending $18000 per minute.
