Disney’s Data Drama: Hacktivist “NullBulge” Cracks Slack and Spills 1.1TB of Secrets!
Ryan Kramer, aka “NullBulge,” hacked Disney’s Slack, stealing 1.1TB of data after duping an employee with malware disguised as an AI tool. He then posed as a Russian hacktivist, threatening to release the info unless demands were met. Spoiler: they weren’t. So, Disney’s secrets hit the web, and now Kramer’s facing the music.
Hot Take:
In a plot twist straight out of a cyber-thriller movie, a California man named Ryan Kramer, also known as “NullBulge” (because apparently “Hacky McHackface” was already taken), decided to turn Disney’s internal Slack channels into his personal streaming service for sensitive data. Who needs Disney+ when you’ve got 1.1 terabytes of pixie-dusted secrets, right? Looks like Kramer couldn’t resist the urge to access the “unreleased projects” and “raw images”—not the kind of spoilers Disney fans are usually excited about! Now, he’s facing up to five years of watching the world from behind bars. The lesson here: if the AI tool you’re downloading seems too good to be true, it’s probably a wolf in Mickey Mouse ears.
Key Points:
- Ryan Kramer, a 25-year-old from California, used malware disguised as an AI image tool to hack into Disney’s internal Slack channels.
- He stole 1.1 terabytes of data by accessing a Disney employee’s computer using the program.
- Kramer posed as a Russian hacktivist group to blackmail the employee, threatening to leak the data.
