Hackers allegedly breached a Viz Media vice-president’s corporate Google Account, stealing 250GB of sensitive data, including emails, NDAs, licensing agreements, employee credentials (social security numbers), future business plans, invoices, and royalty statements. The breach was announced on an underground data leak forum, where hackers offered the stolen data for sale (minimum price: five figures). Initial access was likely gained via social engineering, compromising a single executive’s account but granting access to corporate Google Drive, Gmail, internal dashboards, and Mediabox’s royalty-management system. Researchers warned the stolen data could enable further phishing attacks against partners or deeper system compromises. While Viz Media has not confirmed the full scope, the breach exposed employee PII (personally identifiable information), financial records, and proprietary business documents. The company’s Twitter/X account was previously hacked in January, raising concerns about recurring vulnerabilities. Viz Media is investigating but has not disclosed whether customer data was also affected. The attack highlights risks of insider-targeted social engineering leading to large-scale corporate espionage and data theft.
