Hacker group Nullbulge has claimed it has successfully breached Disney and compromised 1.1 TB of data, including concept art and personal information. A report has appeared on multiple outlets, including Insider Gaming and CBM.
The report claims this was achieved by gaining access to the company’s internal Slack and the data includes information about unreleased, unannounced projects including their pre-production art.
The reports say the group has provided lists of the data, but has not released the actual data itself. Disney has not yet confirmed the breach. According to their website, the Nullbulge group has a specific mission:
“Our mission is to enact ways to ensure that theft from artists is reduced and to promote a fair and sustainable ecosystem for creators. Our hacks are not those of malice, but those to punish those caught stealing. Big and small theft, meet the same fate. Be wary where you get content from, because we will work tirelessly to develop and implement solutions that protect the rights and livelihoods of artists in the digital age.”
There have also been breaches affecting AT&T and Ticketmaster.
This breach is said to include a complete copy of the company’s Slack communications used by their development team including messages, files, and other data exchanged within their Slack workspace.
The hackers claim the dump includes almost 10,000 channels, every message and file possible, unreleased projects, raw images, code, logins, links to internal API/web pages, and more.
There will be interesting meetings in Disney IT this morning.
