Since CSC ServiceWorks does not have a dedicated security page for reporting security vulnerabilities, Sherbrooke and Taranenko sent the company several messages through its online contact form in January but heard nothing back from the company. A phone call to the company landed them nowhere either, they said.

I imagine it is a low priority. How often does someone try to hack a laundromat?

Not often, but the problem with poor security is that it is vulnerable to the "smart cow" problem.

The whole herd will stay in the fence until a smart cow opens the gate. Then the whole herd gets out.

Once a security vulnerability is found, someone will inevitably write a script, hacking tool, or modified app to abuse the vulnerability. Then everyone can use that tool to exploit the vulnerability.

I wonder if they tried jumping into the sales funnel.
