McDonald’s Employee Data Appears in Leak, Seller Claims 1.7M Records Stolen
Brief
A seller claims 1. 7M McDonald’s employee records were stolen from Azure. An 8,000-row sample appears genuine, but its age and full size remain unconfirmed.
A seller on a data-trading forum posted an 8,000-row sample this week claiming it came from McDonald’s own Azure tenant, part of a supposed 1. 7 million-record employee directory obtained using stolen credentials. Ransomnews’s technical breakdown found the sample holds up as genuine on every test that can be run against it. What it can’t confirm, notably, is exactly how old the data is or whether the full 1.
7 million figure is real.
