New, by me: Two university students have uncovered a security bug that lets millions do their laundry for free.
CSC ServiceWorks provides internet-connected laundry machines to thousands of residential homes and universities around the U.S., Canada and Europe.
The students found that any security checks are done by the app on the user’s device and automatically trusted by CSC’s servers,
But CSC still hasn't fixed the isue — or acknowledged their findings.
