The Walt Disney Company is reportedly ditching Slack after a July data breach exposed over 1TB of confidential messages and files posted to the company's internal communication channels.

According to CNBC, Disney has already begun migrating to new "streamlined enterprise-wide collaboration tools" and emailed employees this week to say that they will finish the migration at the end of the company's next fiscal quarter.

This move comes after the company suffered a massive data breach in July when a threat actor named 'NullBulge' breached Disney's Slack platform and stole 1.1TB of data.

The threat actor claimed to steal all messages and files from almost 10,000 Slack channels containing upcoming project details, financial information, information technology information, and other confidential information.
