Walt Disney is set to discontinue its use of Slack as a workplace communication tool following a major security breach that led to the exposure of over a terabyte of sensitive company data.

According to a report by Status media, Disney CFO Hugh Johnston confirmed that the majority of the company's divisions would transition away from the Salesforce-owned messaging platform later this year.

The decision comes after the hacking group NullBulge leaked data from thousands of Slack channels used by Disney employees. The breach reportedly included computer code and confidential details about unreleased projects, as first reported by the Wall Street Journal in July. The leaked data included over 44 million messages from the platform, revealing sensitive internal communications.

Disney announced in August that it was investigating the unauthorized release of this data.

NullBulge is known for exploiting vulnerabilities in software supply chains through platforms like GitHub and Hugging Face, tricking users into downloading malicious files, according to security firm SentinelOne.

While Disney and Slack have yet to comment on the situation, many teams within the company have already started transitioning to alternative enterprise-wide collaboration tools to ensure better security and protect company information going forward.
