This is a gem. McDonalds Japan has got itself into a bit of a pickle after being caught serving up spyware with its Big Macs. Turns out some 10,000 winners of MP3 players in a competition held in August got more than they bargained for.

The MP3 players were infected with the QQPass virus, which emails out passwords amongst other nasties. Looks like the Hong Kong supplier could be in the frame here. Don't know how good your Japanese is so here's a Babelfish trans. Not that it's any more readable...

Has McDonalds bitten of more than it can chew?

Do you agree?
