   Large swaths of data belonging to entertainment giant Disney appear to    
   have been leaked online by a hacking group claiming to protect artists'    
   rights.   
      
   The group, called Nullbulge, says it has leaked one terabyte of data    
   from "almost 10,000 channels" on Slack, a cloud-based program largely    
   used by workplaces to communicate online.   
      
   The data contains "unreleased projects, raw images and code, some    
   logins", according to a blog post from the group.   
      
   It shared screenshots of documents the group allegedly downloaded on    
   social media platform X, showing revenue from Disneyland Paris and what    
   seems to be new streaming models for Disney+.   
      
   The ABC has been unable to immediately verify this information.   
      
   Nullbulge describes itself as a "hacktivist group protecting artists'    
   rights and ensuring fair compensation for their work".   
      
   About one terabyte of data from Disney's internal Slack workplace    
   appears to have been leaked online by a hacking group claiming to    
   protect artists' rights.   
      
   The data contains "unreleased projects, raw images and  code, some    
   logins", according to a blog post from the group.   
      
   What's next? Disney Australia has been contacted for comment.   
      
   The group told the Wall Street Journal it targeted Disney "due to how it   
   handles artist contracts, its approach to AI, and its … pretty blatant    
   disregard for the consumer".   
      
   "Disney is investigating this matter," a spokesperson told The Hollywood   
   Reporter and Variety.
