À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of Secured Governance, we break down the shocking revelation behind McDonald’s AI-driven hiring platform, McHire, and its catastrophic security lapse. Imagine this: 64 million job applicants’ data exposed—all because someone left the admin login as “123456.” No MFA. No encryption. No monitoring. Just one of the world’s largest fast-food empires falling victim to a security failure that could’ve been stopped with basic GRC protocols in place. We dissect exactly what happened, why it happened, and—most importantly—how proper governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) practices could have prevented the entire breach. From insecure APIs and vendor mismanagement to failed oversight of AI deployment, this episode delivers a full-stack analysis of one of the most embarrassing tech security oversights in recent memory. You’ll also learn:
  • What IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerabilities are and how they’re exploited
  • What frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001 would’ve required in this scenario
  • What tools and policies could’ve blocked the breach
  • What legal and regulatory consequences McDonald’s and its AI vendor might now face
  • Why this isn’t just a “tech problem,” but a total GRC failure
