Michael Scheuer, a former employee, pleaded guilty to computer fraud and aggravated identity theft, facing significant prison time. His actions included tampering with restaurant menu allergen information and launching denial-of-service attacks against his former employer, causing potential harm to customers with allergies. The FBI investigated Scheuer's cyber intrusions, which raised serious concerns about workplace security and the implications of his retaliatory actions following his termination. A sentencing date is yet to be established.
Scheuer's series of computer attacks included manipulating allergen info in menus, posing risks to customers with food allergies, after being terminated from his job.
The investigation by the FBI highlighted the seriousness of Scheuer's actions, which included entering unauthorized computer systems and causing significant disruptions.
Following his termination, Scheuer's denial-of-service attacks were an attempt to lock employees out of their accounts, further straining workplace operations.
The case raises concerns about the policy of not naming victims in cybercrimes, especially when the involved parties receive substantial public attention.
