McDonald's China Web Site HackedEmail This EntryPrint This Entry
Posted by John Yunker

McDonald's China Web site was hacked, apparently by a person (or people) protesting the company's reference to Taiwan as a separate country. The Taiwan/China issue is bound to produce headaches for multinationals who want to offer local Web sites for each market.
