McHire.com - McDonald's Hiring Chatbot - Leaked Data on 64 Million Job Applicants

Post by Shane1145 »

Hiring platform McHire.com, used by fast food giant McDonald's, has exposed information on more than 64 million job applicants, according to security researchers.

It turns out that not every chatbot is created equal – some are less good than others, to put it mildly. Some applicants have already complained about how bad the Olivia chatbot is at its job.

The idea is simple. The user accesses the website and talks directly with the chatbot to apply for a job. This should be followed by a call from a real person. When security researchers Ian Carroll and Sam Curry saw the ridiculous answers it gave, they figured it wouldn't hurt to see how its security is fairing.
