An activist hacking group claimed it leaked thousands of Disney’s internal messaging channels, which included information about unreleased projects, raw images computer codes and some logins. Nullbulge, the “hacktivist group,” claimed responsibility for the breach and said they leaked a gigantic, roughly 1.2 terabytes of information from Disney’s Slack, a communications software. In an email on Monday to CNN, the group claimed it gained access through “a man with Slack access who had cookies.” The email also claimed the group was based out of Russia. “The user was aware we had them, he tried to kick us out once but let us walk right back in before the second time,” the email said. CNN could not independently verify the claims. In a statement Monday, Disney said it “is investigating this matter.” Disney’s entertainment monolith stretches across a vast range of divisions and companies, from ESPN to Hulu and Disney+ to ABC News. The group also stated that it wants to protect artists’ rights and compensation for their work, especially in the age of artificial intelligence.
