Submission + - Starbucks Gift Cards Have Security Flaw (ottawa.ctv.ca)
From the article: " "Obviously Starbucks wants you to put money on them (the cards) but there's nothing stopping anyone from going in there and looking at the card and taking the numbers off," said Chris Ewing.
Ewing says all it takes is someone walking into the coffee shop, copying the 16-digit number on the back of the card, downloading the Starbucks mobile application and generating a bar code to use the money eventually loaded on the card. "
I wonder how many geeks will get Starbucks gift cards for the holidays!"
