On September 20, Reuters reported that Walt Disney Company plans to discontinue its use of Slack after a hacker attack resulted in the leak of over 1TB of company data.
Disney’s Chief Financial Officer, Hugh Johnston, stated that most of the company’s operations would stop using Slack services later this year.
Neither Disney nor Slack, owned by Salesforce, responded immediately to Reuters’ request for comment.
IT Home cited a July report from The Wall Street Journal, noting that the hacker group NullBulge released data from thousands of Slack channels belonging to the entertainment giant, including computer code and details of unreleased projects.
The data reportedly came from Disney’s Slack workplace communication tool, involving over 44 million messages.
The company had stated in August that it was investigating the unauthorized leak of more than 1TB of data from one of its communication systems.
SentinelOne’s threat intelligence and malware analysis team indicated that NullBulge compromised the software supply chain by exploiting code on GitHub and Hugging Face (a collaborative coding platform) to lure users into downloading malicious files.
