What Disney's massive hack could mean for the company

Data hacks have always been a huge obstacle in the digital age. This time, Disney became the latest victim of hackers, who allegedly stole 1.1 TB of data from the studio, which includes substantial information about the company's future projects and plans. This also extends to data related to Marvel and Lucasfilm, both of which are under the studio now.

The hack could lead to great losses for the company, especially if things from the stolen data are leaked online. For Rockstar, the group that hacked them released over 90 videos from the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI, causing massive losses to the company.

If the plans of the studio are released, especially pertaining to franchise-based shows and films, it could also make them lose out on the element of surprise in their future slates.
