A fired Disney employee allegedly hacked the company’s menu system, potentially causing fatal consequences for customers with severe allergies by altering allergen information.
The hacker replaced all fonts on menus with Wingdings symbols, rendering the database unusable and forcing Disney to take down the system for 1-2 weeks.
A denial-of-service attack was launched on 14 high-ranking Disney employees, using a bot or script to attempt logins 100,000+ times.
The FBI filed a criminal complaint alleging the ex-employee caused $150,000+ in damages between June 12th and September 23rd, 2024.
The incident highlights the fatal risk of relying solely on menus for allergen information, even when accurate.
