So I mean it
one always has these codes on the cash registers of the Amazon (psn…) credit cards or it is on the back
Of course they are only activated when paying, but there are definitely 10 active cards or unused ones
but what is the probability of simply typing something (eg 17JAB511Q81) that you "steal" someone's 10 euro or even 500 euro coupon card
is that even stealing? Is it allowed to spend the money before the owner complains to amazon? Is there a penalty or is it still a gray area?
If the code consists of numbers and letters, there are billions of possibilities. The fact that you are doing a randomly activated code is very unlikely.
Well, there are also milionen active codes
Case sensitivity is already over trillions of possibilities. But as I said, very unlikely.
For example, paysafecards have 16-digit numeric codes, so 10 ^ 16 code options. So if 10000000, ie 10 ^ 7, cards should be in circulation, then the probability is 10 ^ (7-16) so 10 ^ (- 9), which is 0.000000001, ie 0.0000001%
