Disney Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Data Breach

The Walt Disney Company is facing a class action lawsuit due to a significant data breach involving sensitive employee information. Filed by plaintiff Scott Margel in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the suit alleges negligence, breach of implied contract, and violations of privacy laws, claiming Disney failed to adequately protect personal data. The breach, attributed to the hacking group NullBulge, reportedly exposed over 18,800 spreadsheets and 44 million internal messages, including sensitive details such as passport numbers and addresses of Disney Cruise Line employees and passengers. Many affected employees remain unaware of what specific data was compromised, raising concerns about identity theft and Disney's data protection measures. The lawsuit also highlights Disney's lack of communication regarding the breach and the measures taken to secure personal information moving forward. Disney has not yet publicly responded to the allegations.
