Disney Hacker Who Accessed 1.1 Terabytes of Data Pleads Guilty

Posted on May 4, 2025May 4, 2025 by Dissent

There’s an update to a previously reported breach claimed by “Nullbulge.” Pirates and Princesses reports:

A California resident has pleaded guilty to charges related to hacking a Disney employee’s personal computer, resulting in the theft of more than 1 terabyte of confidential data. Last year, it was reported that a hacker accessed Disney’s files and released data online, including financial statements on Genie+, Disney+, and more.

Ryan Mitchell Kramer, 25, of Santa Clarita, admitted to two felony charges—one count of unauthorized computer access to obtain information and another of threatening damage to a protected computer. Each charge carries a potential maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.

According to the plea agreement, Kramer distributed malicious software disguised as an AI-generated art program on various online platforms in early 2024.

When a Disney employee unknowingly downloaded this software between April and May, Kramer gained access to both the victim’s personal and professional accounts, including sensitive Disney Slack channels.
