McDonald’s databases were recently hacked into and personal customer information was stolen, the fast-food giant said in a statement.
“Recently McDonald’s was informed by one of its partners that limited customer information collected in connection with our promotions or websites was improperly accessed by a third party,” McDonald’s said. “Limited customer information such as name, address, phone number, birth date and gender was included in the information that was accessed.”
The data that the hackers were able to get was compiled from consumers who signed up to receive e-mails from McDonald’s on the websites mcdonalds.com, mcdonalds.ca, mcdonaldsmom.com, mcdlive.com, meencanta.com, monopoly.com, playatmcd.com and 365Black.com, the statement said.
