Notorious Hacker SiegedSec Behind Data Breach That Compromised Information Of Atlassian Employees - Atlassian (NASDAQ:TEAM)

Australian software firm Atlassian Corp TEAM and workplace management company Envoy were in disagreement over a data breach that exposed the data of thousands of Atlassian employees.
A hacking group known as SiegedSec leaked data on Telegram, accepting responsibility for the breach, TechCrunch reports.
This data compromised included the names, email addresses, work departments, and phone numbers of 13,200 Atlassian employees and floor plans of Atlassian offices in San Francisco and Sydney, Australia.
SiegedSec was in the news last year after it leaked eight gigabytes of data from the state governments of Kentucky and Arkansas in protest against the State’s efforts to enact abortion bans following the Supreme Court’s decision.
Atlassian blamed Envoy, which the former used to organize its office spaces.
Envoy snubbed Atlassian’s claims adding that initial research had shown that “a hacker gained access to an Atlassian employee’s valid credentials to pivot and access the Atlassian employee directory and office floor plans held within Envoy’s app.”
Soon after the startup’s denial, Atlassian’s spokesperson Megan Sutton told TechCrunch that the company’s internal investigation since revealed that attackers had actually compromised Atlassian data from the Envoy app “using an Atlassian employee’s credentials that had been mistakenly posted in a public repository by the employee.”
Price Action: TEAM shares traded lower by 3.54% at $168.43 on the last check Friday.
