Hackers exploit serious security flaws in Burger King's systems

Hackers known as BobDaHacker and BobTheShoplifter exploited serious security vulnerabilities in Restaurant Brands International’s systems, affecting over 30,000 locations of Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes. They accessed employee accounts, eavesdropped on drive-through conversations, and even controlled store interfaces due to easily exploitable flaws such as an unclosed registration API and hard-coded passwords. While they reported their findings ethically without compromising customer data, their efforts went unacknowledged by RBI. This incident highlights critical lapses in cybersecurity that could have severe implications for privacy and operational integrity, urging the need for robust security measures across all digital platforms.
