Disney plans to transition away from using Salesforce-owned Slack as a companywide workplace collaboration system after a hacking group stole and leaked over a terabyte of company data, including unreleased projects and sensitive communications. The hack, which occurred in July, involved 44 million messages from Disney's Slack. The company aims to stop using Slack by the end of this year. This decision follows the exposure of company secrets and sensitive information, leading to significant internal security concerns.
