The story seems eerily similar to what we have seen before with Insomniac Games and Rockstar Games… but this time they may have tangled with a giant corporation.

The Mouse Empire is booming these days, as Disney is almost everywhere, either directly or in some form of involvement. There’s a new Deadpool movie coming soon, Marvel: 1943: Rise of Hydra is in the works, and even Epic Games has partnered with the company to create a metaverse that’s somehow related to Fortnite. You’d think the company would be keeping its data as secure as possible, but apparently not!

According to reports, a hacking group known as Nullbulge has stolen over 1TB of data from Disney (that’s more data than you can fit on your PlayStation 5’s SSD!). They had access to Disney’s Slack server and a lot of information could have fallen into unauthorized hands. The company’s projects in the pipeline, concept art for Disney games, employees’ personal information, and even login credentials could have been leaked. Disney has not yet responded to the case, so it is not certain that the leak actually happened.

The Rockstar Games leak cost around $5 million and leaked over ninety videos of the then very unfinished Grand Theft Auto VI, totaling over an hour of footage. If the Nullbulge attack is not fiction, the perpetrators should not stay outside for too long, because Disney, like Take-Two, tends to take its cases to court in a very short time, so watch out for Mickey Mouse to catch the hackers.

It seems that Slack, for example, could be the weak link in internal networks. If there is weak security anywhere, it is easier to penetrate. And once unauthorized users are in the system, trouble can happen quickly. And Disney will be silent at best, but acting behind the scenes…
