- Hacktivists claim to have stolen more than a terabyte of data from Disney’s internal chat platform and are leaking the information online in a protest against what they say is the company’s anti-artist stance.
- NullBulge said it had breached the Disney network via a video game modification tool and had previously compromised a popular plugin for the AI image generator Stable Diffusion to extend their reach.
- The group believes AI-generated artwork harms the creative industry and should be discouraged, and they oppose any form of theft from platforms supporting artists.
- Despite doubts about the group's motivations, NullBulge's methods have aligned with their stated ideology, including compromising tools and plugins to gain access to data and networks.
