A former Disney employee faces federal cybercrime charges after allegedly hacking into the park's menu system and falsely marking items containing peanuts as safe for people with allergies. According to prosecutors, Michael Scheuer, who worked as a menu production manager until his termination in June, used his access to Disney's internal menu system to alter allergy information, potentially endangering guests with severe peanut allergies. Alongside tampering with menu items, Scheuer is accused of launching cyber-attacks targeting Disney employees.
