~ Welcome back again dear reader, today's article is for those who are the addicted of eating food from McDonald's.
~ Be aware before you order you meal or party food form the McDonald's application read it carefully. Let me tell you that if you are ordering your burgers and pizzas from McDonald's, then your all personal details will be compromised. Well known hackers and the researchers from Fallible introduced a very serious vulnerability McDonald's India Application which allows all black-hat hackers to access the personal details of the customers from the data of the McDonald's database. No one needs any kind of the authentication or authorization check in API used in the application of the McDonald's. In the McDonald's database, thee is a sequential number of customer ID.
~ The attacker only needs to do is that to create a new script which increase the number to get the authority to access the data to the customers. "The lack of strong data protection and privacy laws or penalties in India, unlike the European Union, Unites States or Singapore has led to companies ignoring user data protection." The researcher declared. They also declared that " in the past they had discovered more than 50 instances of data leaks in several Indian organizations. And this is more serious for the citizens of the our country that their personal details are not safe even though they are ordering only food stuffs online.
~ These all vulnerabilities give chance the hackers to get name, address, personal contact number, email addresses and date of birth, etc. details from the database of the McDonald's application. This matter is reported by the researchers to the McDelivery on 4th February 2017. After some days of the report, researchers get an acknowledgement form the McDelivery IT higher authorities. Since 7th March, many tries had been done by Fallible to contact the McDelivery but unfortunately didn't get any reply from them.
