Disney has been hacked. It seems that a Club Penguin fan has reportedly released information they obtained from Disney’s servers. While some of the information is old Club Penguin information, other parts are dated this month and contain information on Disney companies.
According to Bleeping Computer, some Club Penguin fans have hacked Disney’s Confluence server and took 2.5 GB of corporate intel, which they then posted on 4Chan.
“The link goes to a 415 MB archive containing 137 PDFs that contain old internal information about Club Penguin, including emails, design schematics, documentation, and character sheets.”
The data was called “Internal Club Penguin PDFs,” and the poster said, “I no longer need these :)” when they leaked the information.
However, it seems that the Club Penguin data wasn’t all that they got. The hackers also got 2.5 GB of data, including advertising plans, projects, strategies, information on Disney+, Disney’s internal developer tools and websites, and internal infrastructure.
They also got information on projects and internal developer tools Disney uses, including Helios and Communicore, which Bleeping Computer says was not previously disclosed.
The date on some of the information was just in the past week, with some leaked information saying, “Document generated by Confluence on Jun 01, 2024, 21:59.” Now it’s out on 4Chan.
Club Penguin was very popular for years, but Disney bought it in 2012 and shut it down by 2018. When fan servers showed up, they shut many of those down as well. Disney is spending a lot of money to invest in Fortnite, but they could bring back Club Penguin and regain yet another audience.
At least then, they might not have hacked Disney’s server.
