The news: The Walt Disney Company announced it was discontinuing the use of Salesforce’s Slack across most of its businesses by the end of the year after a significant data breach in July.
The security breach exposed over 44 million messages, 18,800 spreadsheets, and 13,000 PDF files, per The Wall Street Journal. This is the latest high-profile data breach in a disturbing trend that continues to plague businesses.
Disney, which has 225,000 employees per a November Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, said it’s exploring more integrated communications solutions.
