Walt Disney (DIS) plans to phase out Slack, the workplace collaboration platform owned by Salesforce, following a significant data breach that exposed over a terabyte of sensitive company information. According to a report from the Status media newsletter, Disney CFO Hugh Johnston confirmed that most of the company’s divisions will cease using Slack by the end of the year. Several teams have already begun transitioning to alternative, streamlined enterprise collaboration tools.
 

The breach, attributed to the hacking group NullBulge, resulted in the exposure of more than 44 million messages across Disney's Slack channels, including computer code and unreleased project details. The Wall Street Journal first reported the leak in July, with Disney launching an investigation shortly after. NullBulge reportedly exploits vulnerabilities in software supply chains by infiltrating collaborative coding platforms like GitHub and Hugging Face, tricking users into downloading malicious files.
