Large swaths of data belonging to entertainment giant Disney appear to
have been leaked online by a hacking group claiming to protect artists' rights.
The group, called Nullbulge, says it has leaked one terabyte of data
from "almost 10,000 channels" on Slack, a cloud-based program largely
used by workplaces to communicate online.
The data contains "unreleased projects, raw images and code, some
logins", according to a blog post from the group.
It shared screenshots of documents the group allegedly downloaded on
social media platform X, showing revenue from Disneyland Paris and what
seems to be new streaming models for Disney+.
The ABC has been unable to immediately verify this information.
Nullbulge describes itself as a "hacktivist group protecting artists'
rights and ensuring fair compensation for their work".
About one terabyte of data from Disney's internal Slack workplace
appears to have been leaked online by a hacking group claiming to
protect artists' rights.
The data contains "unreleased projects, raw images and code, some
logins", according to a blog post from the group.
What's next? Disney Australia has been contacted for comment.
The group told the Wall Street Journal it targeted Disney "due to how it handles artist contracts, its approach to AI, and its … pretty blatant disregard for the consumer".
"Disney is investigating this matter," a spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.
