A group of hackers has claimed to have leaked more than 1 TB of internal data related to Disney’s projects. As reported by Hackread, the hacker group NullBulge claims to have breached Disney’s internal Slack platform, allegedly leaking messages, files, code, and more. The alleged breach is believed to contain a complete copy of the company’s Slack communications used by the development team, including messages, files, and other data.
The hackers claim that the dump includes “nearly 10,000 channels, all possible messages and files, unreleased projects, raw images, code, credentials, links to internal API/web pages, and much more!” The weekend’s leak of Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 is believed to be the result of the data breach. The first game was developed in collaboration with Disney’s 20th Century Games. NullBulge used X to announce the alleged hack, stating:
Disney has had their entire dev Slack dumped. 1.1 TiB 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.
NullBulge claims that their purpose is to “protect the rights of artists and ensure fair compensation for their work”. In recent years, Disney has faced criticism over the payment of some royalties to artists and writers.
