The investigators discovered that company data had been breached in markets including the U.S., South Korea and Taiwan, the company said.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn a message to U.S. employees, McDonald\u2019s said the breach disclosed some business contact information for U.S. employees and franchisees, along with some information about restaurants such as seating capacity and the square footage of play areas,\u201d the Journal added. \u201cThe company said no customer data was breached in the U.S., and that the employee data exposed wasn\u2019t sensitive or personal. The company advised employees and franchisees to watch for phishing emails and to use discretion when asked for information.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the home of the Big Mac, the hackers were able to obtain \u201ccustomer emails, phone numbers and addresses for delivery customers in South Korea and Taiwan,\u201d as well as \u201cemployee information including names and contact information\u201d in Taiwan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The corporation noted that the breach didn\u2019t include customer payment information. They also explained that the breach was not a ransomware attack, in which hackers demand payment before control and\/or data is returned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cMcDonald\u2019s will leverage the findings from the investigation as well as input from security resources to identify ways to further enhance our existing security measures,\u201d the company said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Numerous major corporations have been targeted by hackers in recent months.

Following the incident, we\u2019ve already made security improvements and do not expect an impact on our games or our business.
