Former Disney Employee Admits to Hacking Menu System to Change Allergy Information

Lucas Ropek reports:

A former Disney employee who was fired for misconduct has admitted to hacking into the company’s menu creation software to alter key details, including food allergy information that could have been dangerous to customers at the resort’s restaurants.
