A former Disney employee, Michael Scheuer, is accused of hacking into the company’s menu-creating software after being terminated. Scheuer, who worked as a menu production manager, allegedly made unauthorized changes to menu prices and added profanity. He also falsely indicated that certain food items did not contain peanuts, which could pose a threat to individuals with peanut allergies. Federal agents searched Scheuer’s home and seized personal computers, but Scheuer denies any wrongdoing and accuses Disney of trying to frame him. His attorney claims that Scheuer’s termination may have been impacted by a disability and that he had filed an EEOC complaint against Disney. Disney has not yet responded to the allegations. The criminal complaint against Scheuer highlights that no one was injured or harmed as a result of his actions. The case is ongoing, and Scheuer’s attorney plans to vigorously present his client’s side of the story.
