Today we who live in Brazil received a gift from PayPal.
A credit of R$50, equivalent to ~$10 on the current quote.
This seems common, but now there's a big news: The PayPal Intern when creating the coupon forgot to restrict, so he just had to enter the link, create a new account or log into an existing one and get the credit, AS MANY TIMES as YOU WANT!
There are programmers who even created BOT to create the account and get the coupon.
I don't know if it's related, but after this bug was reported on Twitter, PayPal's shares in Brazilian Real dropped.
The guys made the party using the coupon to add money to Steam, like the one in the screenshot below:
PayPal Brazil is calling people to return the money and removing from the Steam balance for those who added there. There are people who got $5,000 today with this bug.
Tonight PayPal fixed the bug and removed credit from all users who took the coupon but hadn't used it yet.
