Fired Disney Employee Gets 3 Years in Prison For Hacking and Changing Menus

Slashdot.org - Tue, 04/29/2025 - 09:45

A former Disney employee who hacked into the company's servers to alter its restaurant menus, including falsifying allergen information and printing profane language, has been sentenced to three years in prison. From a report: Michael Scheuer, a Florida resident, was sentenced last week in federal court and ordered to pay nearly $690,000 in restitution, with most of that going to Disney. He pled guilty in January to one count of computer fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. "Scheuer remains remorseful and apologetic to his former co-workers. We are grateful that the judge heard all of our arguments and mitigation when fashioning a sentence that was half of what the government was seeking," said David Haas, Scheuer's lawyer, in a statement to CNN. Scheuer worked as a menu production manager for Disney and was fired last June for misconduct, according to the original complaint. He had access to, and also used, secure internal servers for creating and publishing menus for all of Disney's restaurants as part of his job at the company.

Amazon To Display Tariff Costs For Consumers, Report Says

Slashdot.org - Tue, 04/29/2025 - 09:00

An anonymous reader shares a report: Amazon doesn't want to shoulder the blame for the cost of President Donald Trump's trade war. So the e-commerce giant will soon show how much Trump's tariffs are adding to the price of each product, according to a person familiar with the plan. The shopping site will display how much of an item's cost is derived from tariffs -- right next to the product's total listed price. In response, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: This is hostile and political act by Amazon. Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years? Update: Amazon is considering showing a tariff surcharge on items sold via its site for ultra-low-price items, called Haul, the company said. "This was never a consideration for the main Amazon site and nothing has been implemented on any Amazon properties," the company added.
