McDonald's on Friday disclosed limited details of a data breach that may
have exposed some customer data.

"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," a McDonald's
spokesperson said, adding that based on the company's investigation so
far, only Korean and Taiwanese customers were impacted.

Good job, McD I.T. (bad joke heh)

The Wall Street Journal initially reported that U.S. markets were also
impacted and that the breach exposed some U.S. business and employee
contact information.

Those markets "will be taking steps to notify regulators and customers
listed in these files," which did not include customer payment
information, the McDonald's spokesperson said.

So it's a minimal impact, and they're on top of it.

It's pretty much impossible to STOP this kind of shit entirely; however,
a smart I.T. staff and reasonable preparation can MINIMIZE it.


It would be interesting to see if anyone gets arrested over this.
(I certainly HOPE so!!!)
