And in January, when he admitted to changing the menus -- including information about allergy information that could have created serious health risks for diners -- that also made headlines. Now Michael Scheuer, who faced 10 years in prison for fraud and an additional subsequent two years in prison for aggravated identity theft, has been sentenced. From the DOJ, this press release today: Orlando, Florida - U.S. District Judge Julie S. Sneed has sentenced Michael Scheuer (40, Winter Garden) to three years in federal prison for knowingly transmitting a program, code, or command to a protected computer and intentionally causing damage and for committing aggravated identity theft. The court also ordered Scheuer to forfeit his computer, which was used to commit the offenses, and to pay $687,776.50 in restitution to the victims of his crimes. Scheuer pleaded guilty on January 29, 2025. According to court documents, Scheuer conducted a series of computer intrusions or attacks directed at his former employer following his termination. These intrusions included manipulating allergen information in restaurant menus to indicate that food items were safe for customers with certain allergies, when they were not. Scheuer also altered menu information related to wine regions to reflect locations of recent mass shootings. Additionally, Scheuer launched denial-of-service attacks designed to lock certain company employees out of their accounts. "Formidable relationships with the private sector are a pillar of the FBI's Cyber Strategy. Through the strength in our partnerships, our Cyber Task Force swiftly identified Mr. Scheuer and disrupted his ability to continue threatening the public," said FBI Tampa Division Special Agent in Charge Matthew Fodor. "We are committed to safeguarding a robust Cyber Strategy to unmask malicious cyberactors to ensure justice is served." This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Tampa Division Orlando Resident Agency Criminal Intrusion Cyber Squad. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert D. Sowell.
