"Twitter User Exposes Nickelodeon Data Leak"

Confidential information, including unreleased TV shows, scripts, and materials, belonging to the popular children’s television channel Nickelodeon have recently been reportedly compromised in a significant data leak.  According to social media reports, an individual allegedly dumped approximately 500GB of animation files.  The authenticity of the leaked content is yet to be confirmed by Nickelodeon.  A spokesperson at Nickelodeon stated that the material in question appears to be related to production files and possibly dates back several decades.  They further clarified that there is no indication of long-form content, employee data, or user data involved in the leak.  The leak came to public attention when a Twitter user, operating under the handle GhostyTongue, began disclosing sensitive information related to the alleged breach on June 29.  According to vx-underground, the compromise originated from an authentication issue within Nickelodeon’s “consumer products and experience” portal, potentially allowing unauthorized individuals to access sensitive data from the animation department.  Nickelodeon is currently investigating the incident.
