Now you’ve gone from petty theft and wire fraud and tacked on criminal conspiracy and god knows what else. This could easily get someone 10 years in jail, right?
Not even that hard to investigate because there’s a complete paper trail after a fraud is reported of what was ordered, who delivered it, and where it was delivered.
I agree that none of this is making any sense. They would have to advertise the service, and every single customer might report the service when he ens up accepting his food from a DELIVEROO guy! It's simply not sustainable, the hassle is not worth the effort etc... I think there was no "credential stuffing" involved, it's just to make customer feel guilty. Note how the article ends with an agreement they reached to jointly publish a statement (portraying the event as caused reckless password reuse), perhaps Deliveroo hopes to construe this common agreement to the statement as admision on the side of the journalist "if only I had used a different password".
To me all this suggests the fraud is happening within Deliveroo, at a level above the delivery people.
The only credential fraud outside of Deliveroo I can envision is if the black hat hackers contact the restaurants to conspire, the food is then never made but the profit is shared...

That's how the cop would describe it of course. Anyone with half a brain knows they always throw the book but the whole book never sticks.
What sticks will probably wind up being some sort of fraud and the punishment will probably be something like fine and probation.
