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

Posted on January 13, 2025January 12, 2025 by Dissent

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.

A complaint brought by the Justice Department last year claimed that a man named Michael Scheuer had committed a variety of computer crimes after being fired from the company that he worked at. The impacted company wasn’t named in the complaint, though additional reporting revealed the company to be Disney.
