In July 2024, a hacker leaked 1 TB of Disney’s internal data on darknet and left the below message:

1.1 TB of data dumped… They neve imagined taking down club penguin servers would cause this!

How was such a large dump stolen ? What did club penguin servers had to do with this?

Attack Flow:

  1. A Disney employee downloads a game add-on on his personal machine > the add-on has hidden malware.
  2. On the same machine, the employee signs into Disney’s internal communication tool “Slack’ > Malware captures credentials / session details.
  3. Attacker uses stolen credentials to access Disney’s Slack > Gains entry to 10,000 Slack channels that the user is part of!
  4. Attacker systematically downloads 1 TB of messages and files from the compromised channels.
  5. Stolen data is leaked on the darknet, exposing Disney’s internal communications and sensitive information.

So this is happened in Disney hotstar and leaked 1.1 TB Data.
