Meaning you're on your computer it's 10:59 AM (Est) you keep refreshing your Supreme page. Then boom 11AM hits, you see that hyped item, in 000.9 seconds you add it to your cart. Then you autofill your checkout, cc information. And click on process payment. It loads and loads, while your heart is pounding out of your chest. Waiting to get that "Your order has been successfully submitted", but then boom. You get a message saying "some of the items in your cart are sold out, please remove them from your cart". You've been Cartjacked. Probably by some Asian hype beast with stupidly fast internet, or a bot.
