Hackers stole 1.2TB of internal data from Disney

There's been a theft at the House of Mouse. 

HackRead reports that entertainment giant Disney has been the victim of a cyberattack that saw hackers make off with 1.2TB of data. Hacktivist group NullBulge has claimed on the cybercrime platform Breach Forum that it made off with “almost 10,000 channels, every message and file possible, unreleased projects, raw images, code, logins, links to internal API/web pages, and more." 

Nullbridge has also posted on Twitter to detail some of what it stole. 

“Disney has had their entire dev Slack dumped. 1.1 TiB of files and chat messages," the group wrote. 

"Anything we could get our hands on, we downloaded and packaged up. Want to see what goes on behind the doors? Go grab it.”

Games info is part of this dump, including Disney's collaboration with Epic Games, as well as an upcoming sequel to Aliens: Fireteam Elite.
