Issues Shake Up Pepsi Refresh

Pepsi Refresh, the beverage company’s initiative to spend $20 million on something more worthy than Super Bowl ads, is experiencing some early bumps, and we all know what a bumpy ride does to a can of soda.

TechCrunch reported that users attempting to submit their business plans and secure some of the $20 million—according to Inside Facebook, Pepsi partnered with four nonprofit groups, which will award up to $1.3 million per month in several increments, with each monthly amount split up between two grants of $250,000 and up to 10 grants of $50,000, $25,000 and $5,000—were experiencing database errors and security issues, with application and personal information compromised.
