Fired, a former Disney World (Florida) employee took dangerous revenge. According to a complaint filed on October 23 and broadcast by the US site 404 Media, he hacked third-party software used by the company to manage food stocks, create and print menus, as well as set prices for Walt Disney restaurants. World.
He was able to log into several systems with his passwords shortly after being fired. In one case, it even broke the software, making it unusable for several weeks.
Dangerous health changes
In detail, the former employee used the software to modify menu prices, but also to add insults.
Worse, it added “information to some allergen notifications that indicated certain dishes were safe for people with peanut allergies, when in fact they could be fatal for those people,” the complaint says.
This comes as Disney is currently being sued by an American who lost his wife due to an allergic reaction to Disney. A lawsuit that the company tried to avoid by invoking the late husband’s subscription to Disney+.
If the modified menus were printed, Disney caught them before distributing them to restaurants. After the company reset the passwords, the former employee broke into the company servers behind the software and replaced all fonts with coils, a font made up of pictograms. A change that left the software unusable for a week or two.
