“hackers”…
I hate any company that uses or builds AI to screen out hires so, so much. Tagging metadata is OK, but filtering is just evil (am/have been a hiring manager).
The company also added that it’s instituting a bug bounty program to better catch security vulnerabilities in the future. “We do not take this matter lightly, even though it was resolved swiftly and effectively,”
I also hate it more that I can’t hate them for doing the right thing.
I’m so lucky that my password is hunter2
I forgot what it was referring to and searched a bit

All I see is *******?
That’s cause I copied your password but it shows up as *******

12345? Amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!
Such a great movie!
No.
This is completely different and unhackable. 12345…6!
I guess I need to change the password on my luggage
Yes. Do that. Thanks to the TSA, I can now open any luggage without traces. Saves a lot of time. Don’t have to enter 123456 anymore.
How do I know you’re not making faces at me under that thing?
“Hacker” when the password could be guessed by an elementary student. Jfc.

If you answer these three questions… Say no more Mr. Sphinx!
123456!
There is no exclamation Mark!
McDonalds gets millions of applications? wtf?
ETA: Yeah, I guess they do.

I don’t think you were quite grasping the scope the McDonald’s operates at. That’s only a couple hundred per location, and fast food restaurants tend to have extremely high turnover, so that’s definitely not an unrealistic number.
ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival?
One of us doesn’t know what that stands for. I feel like the time my grandpa died, and mom sent me an email telling me “We’re going to the funeral this Friday to pay respects to grandpa. LOL!”
I was quite confused. Turns out she grew up with “Lots Of Love”. For a second she seemed like she turned into an absolute psychopath, for like…no reason.
ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival?
In this context, it means “Edited To Add”. I do wish they abbreviated it some other way, since “Estimated Time of Arrival” is a much more common meaning. I would accept “E2A” or something stupid, as long as it was more unique. Alternatively, they could just use “Edit:”.
Edit: added link.
This is my first time reading about this alternate “ETA” initialism. Interesting…
ETA: Mine, too.
(ETA in this context means “Entering Text As:”)
They have over 40k locations. Many are 24/7. They also surely churn through employees, have many part time employees, and probably get many more applicants than they hire.
The employees will be hired by the franchisees but they still use the McDonalds software.
Millions is not a surprise to me at all. Perhaps that it’s tens of millions is a little surprising, but it still seems within the realm of possibility.
Many are 24/7.
Lies detected.
Are you saying that there are not many McDonalds that advertise 24/7 service, or that they advertise this but don’t actually provide it?
I’ve never seen any mcdonalds advertise or service 24/7 schedules. Not since the pandemic.
Walmart and Target stopped too.
Walgreens/CVS is the only thing I know that still does 24/7.
I live in New Zealand and there are many 24/7 McDonalds in busy areas. Clicking randomly on their NZ map it’s pretty easy to find them: https://mcdonalds.co.nz/find-us/restaurants
It’s the same with Australia: https://mcdonalds.com.au/find-us/restaurants
Actually, the same for the US. It’s not hard to find 24/7 ones (you need to search for a city before they show on the map): https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/restaurant-locator.html
i mean there’s a shit ton of unskilled labor out there whose vertical reach isn’t that great.
What does their basketball skills have to do with this?
/s
They pay well everywhere but the US.
A lot of companies use Paradox. They shit canned all their HR down to the bare bones and hired Olivia, which the Paradox recruiter I worked with said is so bad he has to take over answering in chat half the time.
Wasnt it a security researcher and not a hacker?
“Hacker” doesn’t always imply one acting with malicious intent.
If the 90s taught me anything, it’s that hacking is done exclusively on monochrome green monitors, with dos. Except once they hack in, the monitor is full color, and somehow has access to every video camera on the planet. With the ability to enhsnce resolution seemingly to magical levels where you can see a clear reflection in someones pupil.
ENHANCE!!!

Nah, they evolved way past that in the following decades.
Sometimes when they’re in a hurry they create GUI interfaces using Visual Basic to track IP adresses.
And sometimes, if they’re very good, a hacker can manually carve a virus in a piece of bone using fractal patterns. They can use that to hack the computer scanning the bone so it adds a zero in thresholds for CPU heat monitoring and make it instantly catch fire.
With me they look away way before that because I’m usually jerking off
Are you sure you’re a dancing bear? Are you related to the masturbating bear from Conan O Brian’s late night show in the 90s?
The risk is that some unknown hacker discovered this vulnerability and abused it before the researchers discovered and reported it. It sounds like the company has confirmed that didn’t happen, but they aren’t 100% trustworthy in that regard, simply because they might have missed something.
yeah i know the risk, but the headline implies the data was exposed to a hacker who tried the password 123456 but thats not the case. A security researcher was investigating the application and accessed a test application with the password 123456 then found an API call which exposed the data and then he instantly reported it.
