What is Club Penguin?
Club Penguin is a massively popular online game that Disney acquired for $350 million in cash in 2007. The game was extremely popular with young people and is widely viewed as the biggest online kids community of its era.
At its peak, Club Penguin boasted around 200 million users. However, over the years, interest in the game waned and Disney shifted focus to a new 3-D version of the game, Club Penguin Island. The original Club Penguin was shut down in 2017, the same year the new Club Penguin Island was launched. Just one year later, in 2018, Disney would shut down Club Penguin Island too.
Club Penguin's most dedicated supporters have continued to keep the game alive via private servers, where fans can come together and play unofficial, emulated versions of the game. However, Disney has come down hard on creators of these games. For example, in 2022, Disney had a popular server known as Club Penguin Rewritten shut downand three people were arrestedfor their role in running the unofficial Club Penguin online game.

Now, it seems some Club Penguin fans are getting their revenge on Disney.
The BleepingComputer report says that the 4Chan dump of hacked Disney Data consisted of 415 MB of old, internal Club Penguin data. This data includes emails, documents, designs, and more. This specific data, however, is fairly old, with much of the dumped material dating back to around 7 years ago.
However, it appears that Club Penguin data is only a small portion of the 2.5GB of information stolen from Disney.
