I keep seeing this bad advice: we recommend ... changing passwords frequently from large corporations who can certainly afford to hire people who know better, and double check the veracity of PR statements they issue. So what sort of incompetency is this?
The article also doesn't go into any detail how the fraud is happening, if the app itself is compromised, or something in McDonald's app payment backend is compromised. Which is worse? Both seem incredible.
- username444 8y agoI sell products online in Canada, and 90% of our credit card fraud comes from Montreal. It's an absolute cesspool of activity like this. It's a huge center of money acitivity in Canada, and they're only getting more aggressive. We've made several fraud reports with the various agencies and banks, as well as with the Montreal police. The Montreal police are to blame here - theres absolutely zero willingness to investigate and pursue this. I'd put money in this being an inside job. One of the contractors working for McDonald's Canada has a backdoor or way of copying card information, and is selling access to multiple people in a network. This isn't one person making these transactions, it's a network of people.
