Someone living beyond the US's east coast? Impossible!
- LeoPanthera 3y agoI don't think it was an unreasonable assumption given that the article talks specifically about American fast food chains.
- kelnos 3y agoI guess three clues: * They were just trolling Firebase accounts for anything left open, and the first hit was a company that works with a bunch of American fast food chains. That doesn't require OP to live in the US. * They specified "America's fast food chains"; someone living in the US probably wouldn't qualify it with "America's". * They used a $DAY/$MONTH date format, which is uncommon in the US.
- tempestn 3y ago* If they are in America, they're a time traveller.
- bryanrasmussen 3y agothey discovered the vulnerability by reading about it on HN and then going back with the posted write up, classic lazy time travelers.
- InCityDreams 3y ago"[T]hey are", and "they're", in the same sentence. I don't know...I don't know....
- tempestn 3y agoThe first 'are' is emphasized.
- Gabrys1 3y ago> * They specified "America's fast food chains"; someone living in the US probably wouldn't qualify it with "America's". I call that US-centrism. Quite annoying to non-Americans living in the States.
- bdcravens 3y agoThe way the dates were written should be an indication that they aren't in the US.
