The primary issue stemmed from unsecured access to the company’s controlling software, which could be exploited through cross-site scripting (XSS). This vulnerability left the robots open to manipulation by anyone with basic technical know-how, posing a significant risk to the restaurants and businesses relying on these automated assistants.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Initially, BobDaHacker’s attempts to alert Pudu Robotics to the problem were met with silence. After sending initial notifications, the researcher waited over two weeks without a response. Undeterred, she escalated her efforts, dispatching a new round of emails to over 50 company employees in a bid to capture someone’s attention.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-right\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/image-2025-09-11t115238644.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"White Hat Hacker Who Breached McDonald’s Targets Chinese Waiter Robots\" class=\"image-align-right\" height=\"267\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/image-2025-09-11t115238644.jpg\" width=\"200\" />\u003C/picture>Still facing a wall of silence, BobDaHacker took the unconventional step of contacting Pudu Robotics’ clients directly. Japanese restaurant chains Skylark Holdings and Zensho took the warnings seriously, prompting swift action.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Approximately 48 hours after reaching out to these clients, Pudu Robotics finally responded. However, the reply was an AI-generated message that raised more eyebrows than it quelled concerns. The email read, “Thank you for your valuable contribution to ensuring our security. If you wish to share additional details or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly at [Your email address].” The placeholder text “[Your email address]” remained unedited, highlighting a lack of human oversight.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Despite this initial misstep, Pudu Robotics ultimately addressed the vulnerabilities identified by BobDaHacker, securing their systems against further exploitation. On September 3, the researcher updated her public post, clarifying that the company had not entirely ignored her efforts.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>It emerged that the initial emails had failed to reach their intended recipients, but a subsequent report submitted through alternative channels was received. Developers then worked on a fix, though communication with BobDaHacker only resumed after the patch was ready for deployment.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/image-2025-09-11t115116322.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"White Hat Hacker Who Breached McDonald’s Targets Chinese Waiter Robots\" class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"135\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/00/image-2025-09-11t115116322.jpg\" width=\"180\" />\u003C/picture>Also read:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/perplexity-raises-200m-at-20b-valuation-a-stunning-growth-spurt\">Perplexity Raises $200M at $20B Valuation: A Stunning Growth Spurt\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/breakthrough-in-nanobot-development-a-leap-toward-the-future\">Breakthrough in Nanobot Development: A Leap Toward the Future\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/unexpected-ai-assistant-statistics-what-the-numbers-really-mean\">Unexpected AI Assistant Statistics: What the Numbers Really Mean\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Cp>Pudu Robotics also issued an apology for the email blunder and announced the creation of a dedicated vulnerability reporting address to streamline future interactions.
