McDonald's latest company to be hit by a data breach

Source: AP

McDonald's has become the latest company to be hit by a data breach after unauthorized activity on its network exposed the personal data of some customers in South Korea and Taiwan.

McDonald's Corp. said Friday that it quickly identified and contained the incident and that a thorough investigation was done.

“While we were able to close off access quickly after identification, our investigation has determined that a small number of files were accessed, some of which contained personal data," the burger chain said.

McDonald's said its investigation determined that only South Korea and Taiwan had customer personal data accessed, and that they would be taking steps to notify regulators and also the customers who may be impacted. No customer payment information was exposed.

On a recent road trip I stopped at a MD’s because it was fast and on the same side of the road I was driving. Now I’m gonna get an email demanding $10,000 or they are gonna tell my spouse. I’m so hosed.
