(charge: Robert Scoble)
A former Microsoft program engineer from Ukraine continues to be sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing over $10 million in shop charge from Microsoft’s online shop. By 2016 into 2018, Volodymyr Kvashuk worked for Microsoft as an expert, putting mock online requests to be certain everything was functioning smoothly.
The program automatically averted shipment of physical goods to individuals like Kvashuk. But in an essential oversight, it did not block purchasing digital cards. Therefore the 26-year-old Kvashuk found he may use his evaluation account to purchase real store charge, then utilize the bank to purchase actual products.
Initially, Kvashuk purchased an Office subscription plus a few graphics cards. But when nobody objected to these little purchases, he climbed much looser. In overdue 2017 and ancient 2018he stole millions of dollars worth of Microsoft shop credit and penalizes it on line for bitcoin, he subsequently cashed out with Coinbase.
