Reports are swirling about Disney allegedly being hacked, with a whopping 1TB of stolen data making the rounds. This haul reportedly includes unreleased projects, login credentials, raw images, codes, and more. So far, Disney has remained silent on the matter, and the breach hasn’t been officially confirmed.
NullBulge recently claimed they leaked Disney’s internal Slack. According to their post, the leaked data is around 1.1 terabytes and encompasses nearly 10,000 channels, with every message and file imaginable. This includes unreleased projects, raw images, code, some logins, and links to internal APIs and web pages.
Their post reads: “1.1TiB of data. Almost 10,000 channels, every message and file possible, dumped. Unreleased projects, raw images and code, some logins, links to internal APIs/web pages, and more! Have fun sifting through it, there is a lot there. We tried to hold off until we got deeper in, but our inside man got cold feet and kicked us out! I thought we had something special. Consider the dropping of literally every bit of personal info you have.”
This isn’t Disney’s first rodeo with hackers. Back in 2019, ZDNet reported that several thousand Disney Plus accounts were being offered for free on hacking forums or sold for $3 to $11 per account. Variety noted that Disney pointed out the issue of cybercriminals stealing usernames and passwords isn’t unique to Disney Plus. They stated, “Billions of usernames and passwords leaked from previous breaches at other companies, pre-dating the launch of Disney+, are being sold on the web.”
In 2019, Disney’s response was, “We have seen a very small percentage of users in this situation and encourage any users who are having these kinds of issues to reach out to our customer support so we can help them.” However, there has been no official statement from Disney on the current hack.

In this case, though, given the nature of these reports, it would be foolish to assume that the reports of the hacking are inauthentic, and we strongly urge you to change all your passwords, and to not reuse the same password from service to service.
