Ex-Disney Worker Guilty of Hacking Menus

Michael Scheuer, a former Disney World employee, has pleaded guilty to federal charges after hacking into the company's menu-creation software and altering allergen information, falsely indicating that certain foods were free of allergens like peanuts and tree nuts. He also added inappropriate content to the menus, including changing wine region names to locations of mass shootings, embedding a swastika, and redirecting QR codes to websites boycotting Israeli companies. Additionally, Scheuer conducted denial-of-service attacks affecting Disney employees' access to their accounts. Although some incorrect menus were printed, Disney was able to identify and isolate them before distribution. Scheuer faces potential imprisonment and fines, and has expressed remorse, attributing his actions to mental health issues exacerbated by his termination.
