## Description

Back In June, a bunch of hackers stole a mountain of data from developer EA, including the source code for its FIFA and Battlefield franchises and Frostbite development engine.

At first the group tried extorting EA for money, but when that didn’t work, they decided to start dumping the data publicly. 

And this massive hack? It all started with the workplace management app, Slack.
