    Snitches. Let the starving college students wear clean clothes.

    I don’t know if CSC’s response is laziness or compassion.

      Definitely laziness. They already laid off or ended the contract of whichever fresh college grad from Jordan they had set up both the app and server for a couple hundred bucks, so while there’s nobody to fix the flaws, there’s also no ongoing maintenance costs, so they’re not really losing any money.

    This article is pointless, I mean it doesn’t even have a step-by-step to make sure no one exploits it. I certainly would never use a bug in software to get free laundry.

      Sounds like it’s just a super basic program with zero protection. If you can figure out what the “commands” are and how to send em, that’s all you need.

    Wait, are CSC Service Works paying for the electric, laundry detergent, etc… or is this just a convoluted way of leasing the use of a washing machine?
