In: It Sucks
26 May 2009If you are trying to access into McDonald’s /siteadmin/ to see if you can find proof, the answer is: You Won’t. Because they’ve already removed it. But who knows how many people already went in before that, and now have your home address!
Hopefully this time, their data are really really kept safe. And I’m not even a Hacker.
For those of you that did successfully go into the page last night — before it was removed — what do you think? By any chance did you export the Excel sheet too?
Is a private apology going to do away with what has happened? This is what Miss D — their messenger — is asking me to do. Remove my conflicting post below, and continue crossing my fingers that I will win the Grand Prize *wtf* You’ve already removed me from your website ok *roll eyes* >>>edit 12.44pm: Oh wow. Magically I am back on! At the bottom now instead of top. Yippie?!? <<<
“What has happened, has happened. And people make mistakes,” you justified.
Yes, correct.
But that’s not an acceptable excuse. Or even a respectable reason.
Because those are not your details, but Ours! Because if something happens — forgery, fraud, robbery, abduction, harassment, pranks, spam and the list goes on — it is not on you, but Us!
Get it?
So if you want to apologise, make sure it is a Public Announcement. Public meaning = Get it Published. And not over the phone, email or face-to-face type of bs.
Malaysians should be informed. Especially when their privacy is at stake by such unacceptable Carelessness.

totally. they shouldnt be trying to sweep their mistakes under the carpet. if they have a PR strong enough, they should boldly make a public apology n justify their negligence.
cheers

Jess,
I bet, I’m their evil b*tch from hell. Because they wanted to just call and say sorry. And I just wouldn’t accept it. It’s not just me they wronged, but 552 other bloggers!
Furthermore, do we know the real damage that’s been done?
Suddenly a year down the road, I have another credit debt of a House! Because someone happily used my details. Not that cases like this never happened and this isn’t new news.
Not to mentioned, spam & virus emails, annoying telemarketers calling non-stop or your friendly porn delivery. The sky’s the limit!
