These Disney hacks were said to be orchestrated by a hacker group that is meant to protect the rights of artists and ensure fair compensation for their work. The reason for this Disney hack/leak is not stated, but it well may have to do with some of the artists related to Disney complaining about royalty payments in the past. If that’s the case, we can only hope that these Disney hacks serve as a lesson to Disney to pay out the royalties and secure their systems.
Securing Your Systems
It’s not known what means did hackers use to complete these Disney hacks, however, one lesson is clear from the get-go: companies must lock down access to their Slack channel. With everyone wroking remotely, it’s crucially important to not let anyone from outside of your organization access any Slack channel that they don’t need to have access to and use the principle of least privileges to perform a certain task.
Aside from that, consider using data breach search engines like BreachDirectory: BreachDirectory lets you find out whether any of your accounts is in the hands of hackers and take preventative measures. Make use of the BreachDirectory API to draw data from the data breach search engine for the use case of your company as well.
