Leaked Disney data reveals financial and strategy secrets, WSJ reports
Sep 6, 2024 12:57 PM

Sept 5 (Reuters) - Data from Walt Disney ( DIS ) that

was leaked online this summer included financial and strategy

information, as well as personally identifiable information of

some staff and customers, the Wall Street Journal reported on

Thursday.

The company had said in August that it was investigating an

unauthorized release of over a terabyte of data from one of its

communication systems.

Some of the data contained passport numbers, visa details,

addresses and place of birth of staff on its cruises, while

another spreadsheet had names, addresses and phone numbers of

some Disney Cruise Line passengers, the report said.

The leaked files included granular details on revenue

generated by products such as Disney+ and ESPN+, park pricing

offers and what appears to be login credentials for some of

Disney's ( DIS ) cloud infrastructure, the report said.

Hacking group NullBulge published data from thousands of

Slack channels at the entertainment giant, including computer

code and details about unreleased projects, WSJ reported in

July.

The data spans more than 44 million messages from Disney's ( DIS )

Slack workplace communications tool, WSJ reported on Thursday.

Disney ( DIS ) and Slack-owner Salesforce ( CRM ) did not immediately

respond to Reuters requests for comment.
