I have every confidence in Slack's security team, but I also have lots of confidence in the offensive capability of every country on the planet big enough to be interested in manipulating the American press. And right now, enough offense beats any defense

Retweet if you work in a newsroom and would be completely comfortable seeing your newsroom's full Slack history published. Like if it would get sources fired/imprisoned/killed

Journalists may be safer using Telegram or WeChat for group chat because then at least they'll remember it's heavily compromised

For those who ask what journalists should use in lieu of Slack. I recommend a wry internal monologue as you walk the rain-slickened city streets, a saxophone noodling softly in the background as you think of the stories that hide behind every drawn windowshade. Or use Signal.

U.S. politicians and journalists badly underestimate the extent to which they are targeted by capable people. It's fun, fulfilling work! Those attackers go to work on Mondays with a song in their hearts, unlike their targets.

This article makes me cry about how so many people don't understand what tools email has to help them keep organised :(

Question: how would the security of Slack likely compare to that of a general enterprise email-- Outlook or Google apps with Hangouts, say?

I know security people at Slack. They are trying to do a good job. But they are not Microsoft or Google, Slack has ~1000 employees and they are securing a relatively young codebase. At my work, some people use Slack but we warn them against putting anything sensitive there.
