McDonalds apparently hacked? Russia has started going after U.S. businesses

Hello everyone and happy Sunday. I hope everyone is having a great day, and ready to get some news just coming from Kim Komando about a potential breach of 500gb of data from our beloved restaurant, McDonalds.

Apparently, if this holds true, McDonalds would be the first company to take the heat from Russia in their invasion against the U.S. and its sanctions.

Remember, the president has made it clear that unless necessary, we would not attack Russia in this war. And, as predicted, sports teams are canceling matches against Russia in protest of what they’ve done. While the sports aspect is not necessarily affecting us here in the states, and some of us don’t get coverage, the fact is that people are not happy and I want you to know that this is happening as well.

According to Komando.com’s article, a Russian group Snatch took responsibility for this massive hack.

If you use the McDonalds application, take the steps necessary to protect your data as much as you can. As of press time, the news site linked did not get confirmation from McDonalds of the breach whether it occurred or not. Usually companies will hold off as long as they can, and Kim’s article mentions this.

While Kim herself didn’t write the article, this is her site, so I give her credit.

Here is the first section of the article for those of you who don’t want to read the article right now.

In an effort to hurt the U.S., Russia launched a cyberattack on the quintessential American food chain: McDonald’s. To be more specific, a Russian group called Snatch took the credit for a recent hack on the McDonald’s Corporation. According to National Cybersecurity News, Snatch stole 500GB of data and demanded payment on the Dark Web. DailyMail broke the story. Reporters say they reached out to McDonald’s for a comment but never heard back. This news is no surprise to Kim, who said Americans should brace themselves for cyberattacks in retaliation to U.S. sanctions on Russia. After all, Russia launched cyberattacks on Ukraine prior to its invasion through land, sea and air.

There’s plenty more, including linked material to an alert from Cisa and possibly others I’ve missed.
