McDonald's is warning its customers of the theft of a database containing information on those who signed up for promotions, such as its Monopoly game. The data breach makes those customers vulnerable to phishing attacks and other scams and identity theft.

A similar warning also was issued by Walgreen's.

McDonald's stressed that its records don't include financial information or Social Security Numbers. But it would include customers' ages, phone numbers, email addresses and physical addresses.
