Then, last week, McDonald’s shared some more plans: adding “a bold new lineup of drinks … cold coffees, fruity refreshers, crafted sodas, and energizing sips …” to the menus at 500 McDonald’s locations across the United States, starting in September.
Security researchers were able to hack into the McHire platform using weak credentials, such as a password of "123456."
The chain announced it will roll out a line of crafted beverages at about 500 McDonald’s restaurants in the coming weeks. Among the lineup will be a Toasted Vanilla Frappe, Strawberry Watermelon Refresher, Sprite Lunar Splash, Popping Tropic Refresher and Creamy Vanilla Cold Brew. Other drinks are also planned, McDonald’s officials said.
