   Race Condition Exploit in Starbucks Gift Cards - Schneier on SecurityA researcher was able to steal money from Starbucks by exploiting a race condition in its gift card value-transfer protocol. Basically, by initiating two identical web transfers at once, he was able to trick the system into recording them both. Normally, you could take a $5 gift card and move that money to another $5 gift card, leaving you with an empty gift card and a $10 gift card. He was able to duplicate the transfer, giving him an empty gift card and a $15 gift card. Race-condition attacks are unreliable and it took him a bunch of tries to get it right, but there’s no reason to believe that he couldn’t have kept doing this forever...Schneier on Security
