Comment on McDonald's Closes Amid Global IT Outage

Comments

My personal McDonald's data-security history: having been part of Hacking in Progress '97 in the Netherlands where I got a coupon for a free burger at McDonald's. Not being a regular - as in never going to - McDonald's I thought I'd give it a try as there happened to be a McDonald's drive-through in Lelystad which was on my route home.

(Maybe this is where I should explain that I was cycling home with a cycle cart behind my bike filled with computer and camping hardware, wearing wooden shoes)

I entered the drive-through lane behind a car but when it was my turn the woman behind the counter said 'only cars allowed'.

That was close to the first and thus far the last time I went to a McDonald's. It is also a good example of correlation without causation...
