Description:

No of records compromised: 500,000 email addresses and other personal account data (phone number, Skype ID, etc)

Slack’s blog confirmed that Slack’s hashing function is bcrypt with a randomly generated salt per-password. We have seen so many unauthorized database incidents before. Haven’t we? Think about HipChat and Twitch. It was not too long before they experienced similar breach.
