McDonald’s Canadian Website Hacked<\/h4>\n

An\u00a0estimated 95,000 people applied for jobs at various Canadian McDonald’s restaurants from March 2014 to March 2017. \u00a0Unfortunately, all of these applicants had their information recently hacked. \u00a0The leak was a direct result of the company’s online application site being breached.<\/p>\n

According to The Record<\/a>, the breach is believed to occur in mid-March. \u00a0The information breached includes names, addresses, employment history, and phone numbers. \u00a0It remains unknown if the information breached will end up on the dark web. \u00a0If it does, it could be used for identity theft or phone scams.<\/p>\n

McDonald’s reported<\/a>, they intend to notify all impacted individuals either by mail or phone, depending on the information provided within their application.<\/p>\n

The careers section of the Canadian McDonald’s website will remain offline until they determine the source of the breach, and patch any security vulnerabilities. \u00a0If anyone is interested in applying for a position at any of the Canadian locations, it is advised they apply in person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
