And the hits keep coming..... My previous post touched on some of the WINS and FAILS of the new Crispin effort: Whopper Sacrifice.
I just learned that the Whopper Sacrifice was recently hacked. Apparently, a blogger posted a line of JavaScript code that allowed users to get a free whopper without sacrificing their friends. The website has since been fixed to keep this from happening, but damn. I understand that a high profile campaign like this is going to get scrutinize more than most, but come on people. QA has to mean more than just checking links and browser/OS checks. Of course, I am making a big ASSumption that they QA'd the experience.

After much criticism, Burger King has pulled its “Whopper Sacrifice” Facebook application off the social network. The application, which let users dump 10 friends and rewards them with a coupon for a free Whopper, was pulled after Facebook raised privacy concerns.
ReplyDeleteThanks "anonymous." I seriously wonder about the privacy concerns rationale for Facebook pulling the application. But, that's just me.
