Alibaba fires employees for hacking their way to free mooncakes

China’s Mid-Autumn Festival started today. Celebrated in Chinese culture through the exchange and sharing of moon cakes. The cakes are round pastries filled with lotus seed paste or red bean paste and occasionally salted yolk of a duck egg. Alibaba offered its employees one free mooncake each, with a plush Alibaba mascot hidden inside. Additional cakes were sold at cost to employees for friends and family through an internal e-commerce page. But four employees were able to surreptitiously insert software into the website directing extra mooncakes to themselves.”]
