McDonald's: Disruption paralyzes restaurants. The cause is said to be a technical malfunction.
The company initially did not comment in more detail on the reasons for the disruption. However, a cybersecurity incident was ruled out. According to the Japanese division, many branches are no longer accepting orders due to the interruption. The disruption is also affecting the branches in Australia, according to the headquarters there. The New York Times also reported on a computer system failure at McDonald's in Hong Kong, and a report in the New Zealand Herald said there are IT problems.
