2024 LC Thread

Not a lawyer, but if this issue is known, and comes up on google, why has no one else filed suit? What’s the evidence? And what do you hope to gain from a lawsuit? Money? You say you have not been damaged. Maybe you get them to stop doing whatever they’re doing, but is that worth the expense of a lawsuit that has no guarantee of succeeding anyway? Personally, I’d stop eating there, and let someone else worry about suing.

If you haven’t been harmed by their product, you likely won’t be able to successfully sue them because you won’t have standing.

People sometimes use prospective future injury to prove damages in a lawsuit. The actual first step would be to eat the food, since that wasn’t mentioned in the post. The second step is to contact a product liability lawyer.

McDonald’s already stopped deep frying the pies and using beef tallow in the fries. If you get them to take the cadmium out of the McNuggets you are going to force me to start eating at Jack in the Box

That’s just straight up evil.

That’s unconscionable.

This was real???

Now it looks like it’s probably a marketing stunt from an employee, which lead to my confusion on it being real.

Should’ve known only an american company would think of that.

This is probably a nuclear hot take, but I don’t hate this.

Don’t villains who phish use exactly this kind of bait?

With all these companies getting their data breached and held for ransom, it seems like a good way to teach people what not to do.

Flame on

It’s not worth it at the expense of playing games with your employees like that.

I’m probably just a sweet summer child here, but it doesn’t seem materially any different from your standard Nigerian Prince scam, except it’s just more believable. If this is the sort of shit people respond to, won’t the baddies just do it?

Is there an industry standard on “how far you can go with fake phishing attacks to educate your employees”

It’s still not worth it to play games with your employees’ emotions and stir resentment like that.

Imagine targeting your employees and telling them you have their child held hostage. Would that be worth it to educate them about the dangers of scams?

Yeah, that’s going quite a bit farther, though. Isn’t it?

I would have to see the actual info that was asked for and how easy it was to determine it was a phishing attempt but if only 500 people fell for it then it was probably a good and neccesary test assuming it was sent to all 6000+ employees. I have seen actual phishing attempts based on corporate events, unpaid leave, bonuses and expenses that I expect those people would fall for as well.

+1000. Also, the actual security value of this kind of theater is approximately zero.

Yeah, companies do this more so that they can say they follow best practices with respect to data security. If you don’t have these kinds of things in place, then if (when) you have a data security incident the likelihood of incurring a regulatory or litigation cost is quite a bit higher.

My employer recently contracted with one of the security training firms. There initial outreach was an email asking us to create an account on their website. The email looked unsolicited and sketchy so a lot of us just deleted it without much thought. Thus, IT had to reach out to us directly to insist we respond to sketchy looking emails. Money well spent imo.
