what service lets you pay with just an IBAN and nothing else?

i don't get it. vlc donates money to people and they use it to pay for netflix?

Yes ? How is it based to steal from benevolent devs unless you're edgy and 12 year old ?

VLC accepts donations made by wire transfer.

Why dont you read the article and find out whore

>faggot wants leddit gold
>leddit asks for a bank account number
>faggot realizes VLC's IBAN number is public
>"nice"
>faggot pays with VLC's IBAN number
>bank doesn't care
>leddit doesn't care
>profit

I'm not clicking on twitter.

charities, Amazon, many other online sellers

You can register IBANs for direct debits (i.e. the supplier requests money from your account).

Somebody supplied the VLC donation IBAN for direct debit.

How come up with this retarded technology?
You just put someone bank account number and it's done? There is no way this shitty service can be that retarded. What prevents me from brute force all IBAN numbers in the world and became a jewlionarie?

But your IBAN is something you give to other people so they can send you money. How can it be accepted for payment with no verification or anything?
I can find a crypto seller on localbitcoins, get his IBAN and use it to buy shit?

O(mn) and some antifraud authorith eventually stopping you

It has to be authorized at least once. Looks like their OTP is compromised.

Presumably, the fact that if you do it once, you're going to a federal pound you in the ass prison for several years.

I imagine the problem is that it was designed when the internet wasn't a thing. You can cancel unauthorized transactions, so it was expected that, in the case that a stranger used your account to pay for something you did not want, you could automatically cancel it.

In VLC's case, however, they get so many unauthorized transactions that they can't bother to cancel all the leddit gold purchases one by one.

yeah basically
at least here in central europe, I pay my phone and electricity bill with that (IBAN / SEPA direct debit, not sure how to translate). might as well put someone else's IBAN and name in the bank info fields, nobody ever checks unless the money transfer fails.

I think only a few services really check, like Paypal and some real-name BTC exchanges send you a few cents first to confirm your bank account before allowing automatic debits

you can charge it back for free, no questions asked
it's more of an inconvenience than anything else

Too bad I don't live in america, right?

SEPA sellers usually require you to provide an ID

Why does VLC need reddit gold? I don't understand

Jews will hunt you down wherever you are unless you live in a hostile country like Iran or China. I imagine even Russia would extradite you.

some fag steals from VLC's account to buy reddit gold

Where the fuck do you live that they don't send you to a rape pit for committing bank fraud?

You are hopeless lmao

>not using a business bank account and disable direct debits
next she will be complaining about carders testing their CCs

Seriously, what prevent me from create a bunch of accounts in those online casinos, over charge all valid IBAN I can scrap, lose the game to a few valid accounts and them cash out?

Why boomers suck so much at designing secure stuff?

>inb4, you are going to jail
I have an extra ID that I brought when Paraguay had a coup a few years ago. The only issue with that ID is that the lady who include me into the DB occidentally mistaken my 1 to a 7, so I am 6 years younger in Paraguay.

Border of Hueland.

A little fraud is not going to be too bad.
A lot of fraud and the authorities check it.

i would guess casinos don't immediately free funds from new accounts / direct debit

That's so sad videolan but please fix your vulnerabilities so I don't feel paranoid when I open vlc

More like they only care about fraud when the government loses out. Everything else is OK.

Depends on the country. Feds in the US at least do not fuck around when it comes to bank fraud.

Credit card scammers do this all the time. Casinos pretend they care, but they make a lot of money in fees in the process, so they actually facilitate it. Specially in eastern Europe.

This is why I only support crypto mined by 2 groups of wealthy jews using more power than south america does a day for a single transaction

In Brazil, big banks are lobbing the government to ban PIX because they are losing a fortune in fees.
It's the single best thing that happen since the credit card.
