> If McDonalds ever gets hacked, this should come up for possible criminal liability.

Oh no, the criminals might find out about your disgusting eating habits! The horror!

Seriously though, what kind of damages might you as a customer expect to see from McDonalds kiosks getting hacked?

The same damages you might expect from sticking your credit card into a hacked ATM.

There are some comments here claiming that their experience with McDonald’s order kiosks in the US makes them feel this is unlikely to be hackable, but “employees regularly leave them unlocked” sure sounds like an invitation for someone to find other hacks.

So… nothing? At least a physically tampered-with ATM could capture the magnetic stripe on my card. But what could a hacked ATM do with my not-American card which I insert in the chip slot?

Deduct a bunch of money from your account but not dispense it?

e.g. none? at least in the US.

when the credit card issuer fraudulent credits the charges back to your account, you no longer have any (meaningful) damages.
