On April 27 Ethan Nunn a Youtuber that goes with the handle of ENunn, tweeted about Cartoon Network co.uk site being hacked.

THE CARTOON NETWORK UK SITE GOT HACKED AND ITS SOME OF THE MOST FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN pic.twitter.com/ycNBj4BBMb — Ethan Nunn (@EthanNunn) April 28, 2019

The Twitter thread shows additional examples of other Cartoon Network domains being compromised.

CN HUNGARY GOT HACKED TOO AND THERE'S RICARDO LMAOOOO THE FUCKING XVIDEOS SCROLL pic.twitter.com/gcb9vrIouE — Ethan Nunn (@EthanNunn) April 28, 2019 ATTENTION! This video may be NSFW!

The company in UK acknowledged the issue and released this information.

To all our wonderful Cartoon Network fans, we’re aware of the current issue with our website and are currently looking into it. Thank you for your patience during this time. — Cartoon Network UK (@CNUKTweets) April 28, 2019

Two hackers, sudorealistic and danilao are possibly behind the hack.

Edit 02.05: it appears that sudoreall has deleted his profile.

We got Cartoon Network down! (Every website with the new design!) !!!!!! pic.twitter.com/AGjQjTlvEO — sudorealistic (@sudoreall) April 28, 2019 Although it looks like the site was taken down by CN IT department to solve the issue.

Edit 05.02: all tweets have been deleted, so here is the original tweet:

Sudorealistic claims that the hack was intended to show how vulnerable CN is, yet from the timeline there is no indication that the hackers tried to contact the company to fix the vulnerability before the attack.

According to this google doc, it looks like Sudorealistic has a history in downloading, streaming or consuming CN content.

There is also a hint that the Turner Media admin panel may have been used to perform the hack.

I tried to reach out to the Hacker for more clarification, but the request remained answered.

If you see any errors, want to send an update to feel free to contact me via twitter or key base.
