Walt Disney plans to transition away from its use of Slack as a companywide workplace collaboration system, after a hacking entity leaked online greater than a terabyte of company data, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing a memo.
Disney’s CFO Hugh Johnston said many of the media and entertainment company’s businesses would stop using the service later this 12 months, the report said.
Many teams have already began transitioning to streamlined enterprise-wide collaboration tools, based on the report.
Disney and Slack didn’t immediately reply to Reuters requests for comment.
Hacking group NullBulge had published data from 1000’s of Slack channels on the entertainment giant, including computer code and details about unreleased projects, the Journal reported in July.
The information spans greater than 44 million messages from Disney’s Slack workplace communications tool, WSJ reported earlier this month.
In August, the corporate said it was investigating an unauthorized release of over a terabyte of information from one in all its communication systems.
NullBulge compromises software supply chains by exploiting code on GitHub and Hugging Face, collaborative coding platforms, and tricks users into downloading malicious files, as per SentinelOne’s threat intelligence and malware evaluation team.
