McDonald’s latest company to suffer data breach

The fast-food chain said its investigation determined that only South Korea and Taiwan branches had customers’ personal data accessed.

McDonald’s has become the latest company to be hit by a data breach after unauthorised 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.
