McDonald's does not specify the date of the intrusion into its computer systems, but claims that the discovery of this suspicious activity is "recent". “No customer payment data was included in these files,” says the fast-food giant, adding that “a small number of files were exposed” and that the company managed to quickly put an end to this flaw security when she discovered it.

The US authorities, however, claimed in early June to have recovered $ 2.3 million of the amount paid to the hackers.
