TapTechNews September 20th news, Reuters reported today (September 20th) that after The Walt Disney Company was hacked, resulting in the leakage of more than 1 terabyte of company data, it plans to no longer use Slack in the company's workplace collaboration system.
Disney's chief financial officer, Hugh Johnston, said that most of the company's business will stop using Slack services later this year.
Disney and Slack under Salesforce did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
TapTechNews cited a July report in The Wall Street Journal that the hacker group NullBulge disclosed the data of thousands of Slack channels of the entertainment giant, including computer codes and detailed information of unpublished projects.
It is said that these data come from Disney's Slack workplace communication tool, involving more than 44 million messages.
The company had said in August that it was investigating the event of unauthorized leakage of more than 1 terabyte of data from one of its communication systems.
The threat intelligence and malware analysis team of SentinelOne said that NullBulge disrupted the software supply chain by exploiting the code on GitHub and HuggingFace (a collaborative coding platform) and luring users to download malicious files.
