Walt Disney plans to stop using Slack as a company-wide workplace collaboration system after a hacker group leaked more than 1TB of company data online, according to Status Media Communications.

Disney Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston said most of the media and entertainment company’s businesses will stop using the service later this year, the report said.

Many teams have already begun turning to streamlined, enterprise-wide collaboration tools, the report said.

Disney and Salesforce’s Slack did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.

The Wall Street Journal reported in July that hacker group NullBulge released data from thousands of the entertainment giant’s Slack channels, including computer code and details of unreleased projects.

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that the data covered more than 44 million messages in Disney’s Slack workplace communication tool.

The company said in August it was investigating the unauthorized release of more than 1TB of data from one of its communications systems.

SentinelOne Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis Team said NullBulge compromises software supply chains by leveraging code on collaborative coding platforms such as GitHub and Hugging Face and tricking users into downloading malicious files.
