CashDash

In this episode of Fraud in the Office, we break down “CashDash”—The 5-minute Fraud Loop, a $2.5 million fraud scheme that exploited DoorDash from the inside out. How many cheeseburgers would that be...probably filets?

A former employee, armed with insider knowledge and stolen credentials, manipulated internal processes to trigger fraudulent payouts, turning a convenience platform into a cash machine.

We unpack:

• How the scheme worked (and why it scaled so quickly)
• Where controls failed across access, processes, and monitoring
• Why insider threats remain one of the biggest risks in modern platforms

Most importantly, we translate this real-world case into practical controls, from access governance to process configuration, to transaction monitoring that organizations can implement to prevent becoming the next headline.

Because sometimes, fraud doesn’t hack the system… it uses it exactly as poorly designed.
