Pizza Lovers Suffer Data Breach From Hell
netbuzz writes "Some 230,000 New Zealanders have been informed that their personal information has apparently fallen into the hands of hackers who compromised the network of a locally famous food chain, Hell Pizza. The company says it suspects 'a rogue employee,' but one security expert says Hell's ordering portal is 'about 50 steps of fail.' Several New Zealand celebrities are among the victims and at least one is taking the matter in stride, musing: 'My Twitter has been hacked, my Facebook has been hacked and I'm pretty sure half of New Zealand has my phone number already. I have nothing bad to say about Hell.'"
"I'd like to order a large, thin crust, double cheese, pepperoni and drop table..."
No clear the table before you place your order so your pizza gets the priority it deserves.

...is why the hell some outfits feel the need to collect that much information about you just to sell you some food. After all, it doesn't make them a single extra sale. If you're not hungry, you're not going to buy a pizza.
Any shop that tries to get that kind of information out of me gets a flat refusal. Likewise, any venue that tries to take my fingerprints or iris scan.
