ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A former Disney worker has been arrested based on a complaint that says he hacked into servers at Walt Disney World in order to manipulate computer menus. A criminal complaint filed by the FBI says that after the worker was fired last summer he began hacking the servers in order to change menu prices, add profanities and alter allergen notifications so that they said they were safe for people with allergies when they weren’t. The former worker’s attorney said Thursday that his client intends to plea not guilty. Disney caught the changes before they menus were shipped to restaurants.
