Disney Hackers dox their inside man

Hackers targeting Disney have exposed an alleged "inside man" by threatening to release his personal information, including logins, credit cards, and social security number, as a warning to others. The breach resulted in the theft of 1 Tebibyte of data, including unreleased games, images, and internal messages. The hackers, who gained access to Disney's Slack channels, have already leaked details about an upcoming Aliens game. Despite the breach, Disney has not commented on the incident or mentioned any ransom demands. The company's legal team is expected to take action as more information from the hack emerges. The hackers' message online warned against betraying their group and indicated that the inside man had second thoughts, leading to the premature data release. The situation highlights the ongoing threat of cybersecurity breaches in the entertainment industry and the importance of robust security measures to protect sensitive information.

why?

doesn't that make people less likely to work with them in the future even if their inside man has cold feet?

These "hackers" are usually teens that figured out how to sim swap and/or bribed an employee. There's usually very little hacking involved. It's the ego driven nature of them that always brings them down.
