Disney is currently under investigation for a data breach, with hackers claiming to have obtained and leaked over 1 terabyte of data from the company's internal Slack channels.
The hacking group Nullbulge, which describes itself as a 'hacktivist group protecting artists' rights and ensuring fair compensation for their work,' gained access to Disney's Slack through an insider with cookies.
The leaked data includes conversations about maintaining Disney's corporate website, software development, assessments of candidates for employment, programs for emerging leaders within ESPN and photos of employees. The scope of the leaked data is said to include details about unreleased projects, raw images and computer code.
Disney has confirmed that it is investigating the matter but has not yet commented on the legitimacy or extent of the data breach.
The hacking group Nullbulge targeted Disney due to its handling of artist contracts, approach to AI and disregard for consumers. The group had previously hinted at a giant release for weeks on its social media, posting what appears to be visitor, booking and revenue data at Disneyland Paris.
This is not the first time that Disney has been targeted by hackers. In 2014, a megahack at Sony Pictures linked to North Korea led to an international crisis and exposed emails from company executives, celebrity aliases, social security numbers and entire movie scripts.
