6.4兆禮券怎賠？HOLA買單恐倒店 (64 Hundred Million Vouchers? HOLA Possible Bankrupt)

 

自稱「遭駭客入侵」的HOLA和樂家居館，似乎跟2次標錯價的戴爾電腦，成了難兄難弟。兩家業者都在「假日出包」，戴爾最後拿產品全年打8折，跟消費者和解，HOLA這回面對「64億張」千元禮券的不正常交易，如果真要全賠，必須掏出6.4兆，怕出清資產都不夠賠。

假日客潮照樣賣力消費，HOLA自稱網路不正常交易的64億千元禮券，是被駭客攻擊！巧就巧在，HOLA網站週日凌晨出包，戴爾官網2次標錯價，發生在週五晚上跟週六，莫非假日網管有漏洞？出了包，代價可不小，戴爾當初想發折價券，消保官確認定「沒誠意」，開罰百萬，最後戴爾拿全年產品打8折和解，如果HOLA循戴爾模式賠，很可能開放線上產品8折，或賠面額最低的100元電子商品券，萬筆訂單，可能認賠100萬消災，畢竟，資本額4.2億的HOLA，如果全賠，恐怕會倒店，11家店賠光光，也付不出6.4兆。

消基會認為，如果業者HOLA最後沒辦法舉證自己是受害者，就必須對下單者負責。消基會董事長謝天仁：「像戴爾這個事件裡面，不只人家會認為，用這個(標錯價)事件在炒作，甚至於有人在懷疑，用這樣的方式得到消費者資料，來達到它促銷的相關目的。」 消基會提醒，消費者如果只下1張單、買1張HOLA禮券，被保障的機會相對變高，如果惡意大量下單，想利用網站疏漏獲利，恐怕只會等到一場空。

Another case happen again after Dell, that HOLA website released 64 hundred million electronic vouchers (thousand dollar) for their customers. They said that possible attached by Hacker, but don’t have any prove yet. Dell has to discount 20% for those products for whole year due to the wrong pricing listed in the Internet, so this time we are not sure how HOLA to handle it. If HOLA need to pay all the vouchers, then HOLA might bankrupt as the total asset of HOLA not enough to pay 6.4 trillion dollar (Unihan Definition for Taiwan). WOW!

If HOLA not able to prove that is not their mistake, then they have to provide a solution for their customers. Even they follow the Dell method to provide 20% discount, or give the minimum voucher or coupon (hundred dollar), then with 11 x HOLA shops still not able to pay to their customers with 64 hundred million vouchers.

If HOLA bankrupt, then it will impact to thousand workers and their suppliers seriously, especially during slow economic market. Oh man!

This is show that we really need to be careful if doing the Internet online business, and this is one the serious example from Dell and HOLA. The leak of Internet security will cause our business loss million of dollar, or even in worse situation then may ‘close shop’. So, IT play a very important role in this modern day, and without IT with the latest technologies and strategies, then you will not able to compete with your competitors. Not sure Insurance can cover or not? Possible is a good opportunity for Insurance company!
