McDonalds – I’m Lovin’ Malware!

by Johan on October 15, 2006



McDonalds - I'm Lovin' Malware

The fast food giant is always in the news. It all started in August when McDonalds Japan in association with Coca Cola announced a contest, where a MP3 player was awarded upon sending the unique number on the Coke glass as a text message. 10,000 winners were announced and each of them got a Mac branded flash DAP preloaded with 10 songs. However, the players were also preloaded with QQpass malware, which transmits your usernames, passwords, etc. off your computer (huh?). McDonalds Japan has apologized and set up a 24 hour helpline for those affected by the spyware loaded MP3 player.
