Walt Disney
reportedly suffered a data breach with a hacking group claiming to have over 1TB of the company’s data. According to a report by Wall Street Journal, a hacking group named
Nullbulge
has published data from thousands of Slack channels at the entertainment giant. This included information about Disney's planned projects, some log-in information, computer code and more.
What the hacker claims?
As per the report, Nullbulge said it accessed "almost 10,000 channels" to dump "every message and file possible." The identity of the group remains anonymous but its mission includes advocating for artist rights. The Wall Street Journal report stated that the company’s artist contracts, "approach to AI," and "blatant disregard for the consumer" motivated the group to target the entertainment company.
The Nullbulge group has leaked the information on its X account. Providing a link to the data, it wrote in a post - “#Disney has had their entire dev slack dumped. 1.1TiB of files and chat messages. Anything we could get our hands on, we downloaded and packaged up. Want to see what goes on behind the doors? go grab it.”
Another post from July 4 shows a dashboard with the daily attendance at Disneyland Paris. “Daym disneyland paris be makin money!... Dont worry how we got this image ;)#Disney #Disneyland #DisneylandParis Soon…,” read the post.
Disney is reportedly investigating the matter.
Recently, US telecommunications giant AT&T reportedly paid a hacker $370,000 to delete millions of stolen customer records. According to a report by Wired, the payment, made in cryptocurrency, was part of a negotiation to secure the deletion of sensitive customer data obtained through a major security breach. The breach, which occurred between May 2022 and January 2023, exposed call and text message metadata for millions of AT&T customers. While AT&T claims the stolen information did not include message content or customer names, a security researcher found that reverse lookups could potentially identify individuals associated with the compromised phone numbers
