Ex-Disney employee gets three years in prison for menu hacks
Briefly

Former Disney employee Michael Scheuer received a 36-month prison sentence and a nearly $688,000 fine for unauthorized access and alteration of Disney's menu software. Scheuer, who was the Menu Production Manager before his termination in June 2024, retaliated against Disney by making unauthorized modifications to the Menu Creator application. His changes, which included replacing fonts with Wingdings, rendered the application inoperable and led to menus displaying incorrectly, causing Disney substantial operational disruptions and forcing a reset of access to the system.
Scheuer's unauthorized alterations to Disney's Menu Creator application led to significant operational disruptions, prompting a reset of access and passwords to mitigate the damage.
Michael Scheuer's actions caused Disney's Menu Creator to malfunction for up to two weeks, streamlining the restaurant menu process and requiring costly repairs thereafter.
