It depends on what an attacker is after.
For the average mid-sized shop that's probably true. However, it's usually larger organizations that worry about storing data in the cloud.
For these organizations and attacks specifically targeted at one of them, I suppose that in order to access vital company data both social engineering and hacking an internal system are much more effective attack vectors than gaining access to a third party system.
- qaq 8y agoDepends if APT is say FSB or MSS Slack is very attractive target. But in general you are prob. right.
- diminoten 8y agoYeah but this goes both ways; Slack and Microsoft know they're huge targets, and have competetent detection and mitigation in place to deal with intrusions. Of course that doesn't mean a breach won't happen, but it's not like APT casts the "hack" spell and suddenly all your PII is out in the open, you have to fuck up somewhere and not notice for a period of time.
