Bug in the blur
Blur informed users of a bug in their messaging system that affected several canceled bids in the past 80 hours. To address the issue, the platform immediately disabled the bid acceptance feature. However, during a short 30-minute period, 36 involved bids were accepted.
In response, Blur canceled all current bids that exceeded the minimum bid threshold before resuming acceptance. In addition, the company promised to refund affected merchants twice the difference between their initial bid price and the actual highest bid at the time.
