Slack Warns Investors It’s a Target for Nation-State Hacking

Slack said that it faces threats from “sophisticated organized crime, nation-state, and nation-state supported actors” according to an S-1 securities registration form the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was published online today. Companies that are preparing to go public—such as Uber, Lyft, Pinterest, Snapchat, and PagerDuty—all have sections in their S-1 registrations that address the threat of “unauthorized access” to their software, systems, and technologies. However, none of these companies explicitly referred to “organized crime” or “nation-states,” as Slack did in its S-1 filing.
