A possible data breach including stolen concept art and personal information by hacking group "Nullbulge" affects Disney. There is currently little evidence available to verify the accuracy of these assertions, and it is uncertain exactly what the data may contain. According to claims, Nullbulge gained access to Disney's Slack server and gathered details regarding the company's next initiatives, including concept art for Disney video games.
Reports state that the hacker group known as “Nullbulge” has stolen over one terabyte of data from Disney. It is unknown for certain what the data may contain, and there is little information presently available that verifies the veracity of these claims. Claims state that Nullbulge accessed Disney's Slack server and collected information about the company's upcoming projects, including concept art for Disney games. These reports also suggest that login details and personal details of workers were gathered.
Currently, Disney itself has not responded to outlets about the matter, which calls the truth of the situation into question. In the event hackers did actually breach Disney's private information, there could be a statement similar to the one that was made when Rockstar Games was hacked. Breaching company Slack channels appears to be a common thread between recent hacks of large companies like this.
The estimated costs of the Rockstar leak were approximately $5 million, and that leak contained over 90 videos of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, amounting to about an hour of content. If Nullbulge did pull off a leak that collected a terabyte of data, the scope of this breach could be colossal in comparison. Disney, similarly to Take-Two Interactive, is known to be very litigious, which would likely be a deterrent to most when it comes to hacking the company. If the leak is true and the hackers are caught, the company will likely make an example of those responsible.
