Fired Disney employee allegedly changed peanut allergy information on menu

A fired Disney employee has been accused of hacking into the online menu system used at Disney World restaurants and changing them to falsely indicate that certain dishes were safe for customers with peanut allergies.

Michael Scheuer, who worked as a “menu production manager” at Disney before he was fired for misconduct in June, has been accused by federal prosecutors of using his work passwords to log into menu creation software used exclusively by Disney World restaurants in Florida , according to the report.

News in criminal complaint in the US Middle District of Floridawhich does not mention Disney by name, was first reported by Court Watch and 404 mass media.

Scheuer’s attorney, David Haas, confirmed to The Post that his client was a Disney employee.

Haas told The Post that Scheuer was arrested last Thursday.

The detention hearing is scheduled for election day.

“The statements acknowledge that no one was hurt or injured. I look forward to vigorously presenting my client’s side of the story,” Haas told The Post.

According to the federal complaint, Scheuer allegedly changed the allergy information on the menu and added profanity.

According to the complaint, Disney intercepted the menus after they were printed but before they were distributed to Disney restaurants.

Haas told The Post that Scheuer had “a mental disability that caused him to have panic attacks while he was at work.”

“He was initially suspended by Disney, then changed to a termination without explanation,” Haas said.

Disney did not respond when my client asked about the reason for the termination, according to Haas.

“Disney did not respond to his requests for termination, and he responded by filing a complaint with the EEOC,” Haas said.

An EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) complaint is often a precursor to a discrimination lawsuit.

The complaint alleges that Scheuer used his Disney login credentials to hack one of the menu creator’s servers.

Disney employees became aware of the hack after noticing that all the fonts in the menu creation program had been changed to wingdings.

“As a result of this change, all menus in the database became unusable because the font changes propagated throughout the database,” the complaint states.

It is also alleged that Scheuer hacked a separate server and digitally altered QR codes that redirected visitors to the boycott-israel.org website.

The complaint also alleged that Scheuer locked out at least 14 Disney employees from their Disney accounts by repeatedly trying to log into his company’s systems using the wrong password thousands of times.

The complaint alleges that “the vast majority of the individuals affected by the crimes had some type of interaction with Scheuer or were considered senior executives” at Disney.

It also alleges that Scheuer targeted four other Disney employees in a “DoS (Denial of Service) attack.”

Authorities alleged that Scheuer kept a folder containing the home addresses, phone numbers and personal information of four people’s relatives.

Scheuer allegedly showed up at one of the victims’ homes on the night of Oct. 22, according to the complaint, which included images captured by a Ring doorbell camera showing a man who was allegedly the defendant.

After Scheuer showed up at the house, the victim, who lived there, left the residence and stayed at a hotel.

The Post has reached out to Disney for comment.

Last October, Kanokporn Tansuan, Ph.D., New York University Langone hospital in Manhattan, bldg I had dinner with my husband and mother at Disney Springs Restaurant.

According to the wrongful death lawsuit filed against Disney, Tansuan had severe allergies to nuts and dairy products and told a waiter at a Raglan Road Irish pub that she needed “allergen-free food”.

According to the lawsuit, the couple asked the waiter about various menu items. The waiter then asked the chef “if certain items can be made allergen-free” before returning to the table and confirming that they could.

Shortly after lunch, Tangsuan experienced difficulty breathing when she entered Planet Hollywood and fell to the floor.

According to the lawsuit, the doctor died at the hospital.

The medical examiner determined that she died as a result of “anaphylaxis due to elevated levels of dairy products and nuts in her system,” the lawsuit states.

Disney initially appealed to a Florida court dismiss the wrongful death claim on the grounds that the victim’s family subscribed to the Disney+ streaming service.

But public reaction to this move forced the company’s lawyers to withdraw the request.
