The Walt Disney will stop using Slack as its company-wide workplace collaboration system after a group of hackers leaked more than a terabyte of company data online. The Wall Street Journal reported. Thursday, citing the memo.
Disney Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston reportedly said the majority of the media and entertainment company's business will stop using the service later this year.
According to the report, many teams have already begun the transition to streamlined, enterprise-wide collaboration tools.
Disney and Slack did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
The Wall Street Journal reported in July that the hacking group NullBulge had published data, including computer code and details of unannounced projects, from thousands of Slack channels belonging to major entertainment companies.
The WSJ reported earlier this month that the data covers more than 44 million messages from Disney's workplace communication tool, Slack.
In August, the company announced it was investigating the unauthorized release of more than one terabyte of data from one of its communications systems.
According to SentinelOne's threat intelligence and malware analysis team, NullBulge exploits code on collaborative coding platforms GitHub and Hugging Face to compromise the software supply chain and trick users into downloading malicious files.
