We are now learning more about a cybersecurity incident that occurred earlier this summer. Fox Business reports that leaked information from The Walt Disney Company included passport numbers of cruise line workers, revenue from Disney+ and Genie+ (now Lightning Lane), and guest data.
In July, Nullbulge, a self-proclaimed Russia-based hacktivist group advocating for artists’ rights, uploaded 1.1 terabytes of Disney data to the internet, sourced from the company’s internal Slack channels.
Slack is a messaging app widely used by businesses, especially as hybrid and remote work became more common following the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform is accessible on both computers and smartphones.
“Consider the dropping of literally every bit of personal info you have, from logins to credit cards to SSN, as a warning for people in the future,” Nullbulge’s website says about the Disney leak.
