Hackers Target Disney+

The transcript discusses Disney's transition to a direct-to-consumer model with Disney+, aiming for 90 million subscribers in five years. Despite a successful initial launch with 10 million signups, Disney faced challenges with security breaches due to reused passwords from other sites. The company employs two-factor authentication to mitigate these issues. Additionally, Disney encountered technical difficulties during the launch, such as video buffering and sign-up problems, partly due to the scale of new users and integration with existing services like Hulu and ESPN+. Disney is working to address these challenges as it evolves into a tech-focused company.
