A former Disney World employee is accused of hacking the company’s online servers. According to a federal complaint, Michael Scheuer falsely claimed certain foods as peanut-free, changed prices and printed profane language.
The complaint said Scheuer was a menu production manager for Disney, but was fired in June for misconduct.
Scheuer is also accused of using a bot to attempt over 100,000 log-ons to disable at least 14 Disney employee accounts, effectively locking them out of their accounts.

Scheuer denied wrongdoing and said Disney is “attempting to frame him.” His lawyer said he has a “mental health disability” that caused a panic attack at work that led to his termination.
The complaint said Scheuer’s cyberattack, which reportedly lasted for three months, cost Disney at least $150,000.
