NullBulge group said it was leaking files from Disney’s internal Slack channel to ‘protect artists’ rights’
Hacktivists claim to have stolen more than a terabyte of data from Disney’s internal chat platform and are leaking the information online in a protest against what they say is the company’s anti-artist stance.
The group, which calls itself NullBulge, has been active since at least May. It claims to be motivated by a desire to “protect artists’ rights and ensure fair compensation for their work”. On Friday, it published the entirety of Disney’s internal Slack channel online through the decentralised BitTorrent filesharing platform.
