Reichstag Week for the Internet Continues

McDonald's Corp. says some of its customers' private information was exposed during a data breach.

The company said Monday that a third party was able to get past security measures and see into a database of its customer information that included e-mail, phone numbers, addresses, birthdates and other specifics that they provided when signing up for online promotions or other subscriptions to its websites, reports AP.

Okay, first we get hacks of Mastercard and Visa. Then we get a hack of Gawker. Now, McDonalds. How much longer before our leaders institute controls to "protect us"?
