Hello, Chase bank? snyksec accidentally sent us $10M
- sergiomattei 5y agoI would've kept 'em.
- s4ik4t 5y agoThat's your bug bounty buddy
- rendall 5y agoI'm confused by the responses of people who say seriously that they would have kept it or skimmed some. Do they intend to just ignore the inevitable felony theft charges? Use up all of the stolen money in a losing legal defense?
- halfdan 5y agoThey have a sense of humour from what I can tell.
- Aeolun 5y agoDoesn’t really work if they know who has the money.
- tinus_hn 5y agoIt’s not theft to keep a gift. The bank may have terms and conditions that allow them to try to take back the money but that won’t work if the money is gone and then the bank will have absolutely no problem telling the party that sent the money that it is their problem and they are out 10 million.
- rendall 5y ago> It’s not theft to keep a gift. Ah, so if you're representative, then they believe that there would be no consequences to the theft. That no law was broken, the authorities would have no interest in a missing $10M, and Snyk would have no legal recourse to recover it. Interesting theory.
- tinus_hn 5y agoAuthorities have no missing $10M. Snyk has. And it’s their responsibility. Not the responsibility of ‘authorities’ nor the responsibility of anyone else. Do you really think that if I wire my taxes to your bank account authorities are going to assist me in getting it back from you?
- rendall 5y agoYes, if you live in a country with rule of law, that would be a theft and this has veered into stupid https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/09/us/bank-deposit-error-couple-spending-spree-trnd/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/09/us/bank-deposit-error-couple-...

Ultimately they did 100 hours of community service. I’d do community service for $1000 an hour! Clearly there is some plea deal going on and they agreed to this to be done with it.
- axiosgunnar 5y agoWhy is the first instinct of the people involved to post everything on Twitter?
- Ajef 5y agoI think posting on twitter is a valid way to deal with this. Making this public helps to raise awareness for businesses to pay attention to their business processes in regards to payment release. I remember being told that the process of paying vendors is where the most fraud happens.
- boxed 5y agoWhy is it internet commentors first instinct to assume the first they hear about something is the first thing that happened? Seriously. I have several times tried to contact an institution and gotten absolutely no response, then tried Twitter and gotten a timely response. It's a thing.
