Atrocious!?

“Yo. Check this out guys, this is insanely great, it's got a 28.8 BPS modem!”

Why do you even need a hiring bot for McDonalds? Maybe for managers but a McJob is a McJob.

The difference in terminology is simple..

A legit paycheck.

They only did the right thing after getting caught openly doing the wrong thing, so I'd say I'd still be pissed.

They should have never put the system in place with such a simple vulnerability (which to me) says they take such a laxodasical approach to security that I wouldn't trust them even now.

Not a good movie?!? Sir/madam, this is blasphemous.

Hack the planet, or in this case, hack the Big Mac!

I help folks with disabilities get jobs, so I'm familiar. I generally avoid fast food for my people, because it's degrading and no one really wants a McJob. That being said, the bot actually makes it easier to apply, and they immediately schedule an interview...because they don't care what your resume says and they just need warm bodies to throw at angry customers. Again, I avoid it for my folks wherever possible.

Years, sadly.

In the future, actual hacking will just involve social engineering corporate ai systems ( aka prompt hijacking )

lol, 17

Seriously though, who the fuck uses 123456 as the password for anything? The morons pulling shit like this are making bank while the people brought onboard by McDonalds make scratch by comparison, and would be crucified for fucking up even a fraction as much as this. Millions, with six zeroes, millions of applicants' data stolen from an account with the kind of password that a kid would use on their home computer. Fuck, this makes me so mad, the sheer incompetence.

Speak for yourself, I'm holding out hope that the universe is actually a little fair, and that the dolt responsible to creating that password, and subsequently fucking over millions of people has their testicles ruptured. Who are these idiots?

Oh man I love Conan O’Brien, especially as a latch key kid whose ma worked shift work… arsenio hall and Conan O’Brien kick ass they made me feel so safe home alone falling asleep on the couch waiting for mom to come home

Oh no, we're out of letters!

I did something kinda similar when I applied. Why put effort into remembering a new password when I was only going to use it once to fill out a job ap? Wants anyone even going to do with my account?

ah... classic.

Fuck i am old.

Goddamn it man, not the user account password, the fucking admin account password. Did you even read the article? Every single user account's information was compromised, not one random jerk with 123456 for their password.

Not the person you were responding to, but... Did I read the article stuck behind a paywall? No, no I did not

Edit: ah I see the non paywall link now

When I used to work at McDonald's they required a fingerprint to clock in and out. They then apparently sold everyone's biometric data. I got some kind of settlement thing but it was like $20 or something. So that was nice... I guess
