Here’s proof that McDonald’s should stick to french fries. The fast-food giant recently paired up with Coke for a promotion in Japan to give away 10,000 golden-arch MP3 players. The players came preloaded with 10 tracks and for some of the lucky winners, the QQPass trojan horse! When the McPlayer is plugged into a PC, the malware grabs passwords and other personal details and emails the info to the code’s author. While the exact number of infected devices is unknown, McDonald’s has set up a 24-hour hotline to deal with the issue and promises to send out clean replacements.
