Disclaimer: All given links to the webs shown have my referral. I won’t become rich (you neither) but keep it in mind.
I’ve taken part of Consupermiso (translates as: “allowed-by-you”) for many years, literally (perhaps 5 or 6 years), and I only have 13,71€. In fact, I didn’t expect too much from the many mails they send me, almost one per week, just because of clicking on the link within them.
EsFacil (translates as “it-is-easy”) is much more time consuming because they send me 4 or 5 mails per week and I just have 16€.
But I want to move the topic. It happens that the way the have to make people lose Euros from their accounts is by having contest and so on.
The last great idea they had was to have a contest with a Xbox360 as the main prize. The contest winner would be the one with the highest score.
Few hours later everybody knew where the flaw was. For the rest of unaware humans the contest was just about sending the scores to a server, but in fact it’s not too complicated to modify the scores given that they all are obtained from your computer
For those really interested about it I have to say that they don’t send plain text. The scores are previously encoded transforming the digits to characters and the adding the corresponding character from the cyclic “cspgame” key and then codding it with the URL (time needed to crack it: 2h)
Going back to the main topic. That they knew about the flaw since the very first day can be thought given that none ever said a word, and April 16th (due date) all scores increased incredibly, from 40 million to 214.738.647 which is the highest number that the database can store.
The funny thing is that more than 15 days after that none within the organization has said a word, and none of the people who took part received the 15 cents back, nor none of them received the Xbox.
It’s a big shame and it has been a perfect game for them, normal people played the very first days, all the freaks spent a lot of money obtaining high scores and also obtaining the nullification of the game (no prize for anyone) and the game owners haven’t close the game, so many more people can still take part on it. Anyone could thing that it was designed badly on purpose.
The sad thing is that I thought Consupermiso was a serious company among the ones within this kind of “advertisement allowed companies” world, once more I’m disappointed.
