The McDonald’s Canada (“McDonald’s”) career website (Careers | McDonalds.ca or Carrières | McDonalds.ca) was recently subject to a cyber-attack.
As a result, the personal information of approximately 95,000 restaurant job applicants has been compromised. Applicants affected are those who applied online for a job at a McDonald’s Canada restaurant between March 2014 and March 2017. The personal information compromised was limited to applicant name, address, email address, phone number, employment background and other standard application information. Importantly, our application forms do not request highly sensitive personal information such as social insurance numbers, banking information or health information.
