A fired Walt Disney World employee in Florida is accused of hacking into the software the company uses to create the menus for its restaurants, changing, among other things, the allergen information and potentially creating a serious public health issue.

Michael Scheuer, who was fired from the company in June and arrested last week, is charged with knowingly causing the transmission of a program to a protected computer and intentionally causing more than $5,000 worth of damage without authorization, according to a federal criminal complaint filed in the Middle District of Florida.

Among the allegations contained in the complaint, authorities say that Scheuer “threatened public health and safety” by unlawfully accessing the company’s menu creation servers. Specifically, he allegedly “manipulated” the allergy information on Walt Disney World menus by adding information to allergen notifications indicating that “certain menu items were safe for individuals with peanut allergies, when in fact they could be deadly to those with peanut allergies.”
