Slack Resets Account Passwords Compromised During 2015 Hack

Slack has started sending out emails informing users that their account passwords have been reset. Slack has stated that this is only affecting 1% of their users. Slack was hacked and an unauthorized user was able to gain access to their infrastructure, including a database containing hashed passwords. The attackers also injected a script that would capture passwords in plain text as they were entered by users logging into Slack’s workspaces. Slack also recommends that users enable 2-factor authentication on their accounts to make them more secure.
