Detailed summary

In July 2026, the ransomware group "thegentlemen" listed "Disney Family / Shamrock Holdings" on its leak site. The group claimed to have exfiltrated over 800 GB of data, spanning from the 1980s to June 2026. This incident refers to Shamrock Holdings, a private investment firm and family office, not the public Walt Disney Company.

The ransomware post indicated the exfiltration of internal files but did not specify the number of affected individuals or the types of data exposed. Disney Family / Shamrock Holdings is a private entity, and there is no official confirmation regarding the breach from the company, nor have specific data types or affected states been confirmed.

Details surrounding the breach, including specific data types impacted, the number of individuals affected, and regulatory notifications, have not been publicly confirmed by the company or via official channels. Further information may emerge as investigations develop.
