Disney To Stop Using Salesforce-Owned Slack After Hack Exposed Company Data (reuters.com) 1
Disney plans to transition away from using Slack as its companywide collaboration tool after a hacking group leaked over a terabyte of data from the platform. Many teams at Disney have already begun moving to other enterprise-wide tools, with the full transition expected later this year. Reuters reports: Hacking group NullBulge had published data from thousands of Slack channels at the entertainment giant, including computer code and details about unreleased projects, the Journal reported in July. The data spans more than 44 million messages from Disney's Slack workplace communications tool, WSJ reported earlier this month. The company had said in August it was investigating an unauthorized release of over a terabyte of data from one of its communication systems.
Time for an on-prem messaging tool? (Score:2)
Whatever happened to on-prem messaging tools? Ages ago, ircd would be good enough, but one needs to be able to have attachments stored somewhere, and some places have documentation for long term reference.
If someone came up with something like Slack or Teams, except 100% on-prem and used interfaces to the server or load balancer, I'm sure it would be useful. Maybe even offer cloud-brokered redirection so people outside the firewall can still communicate, but all data still remains on the physical servers,
