As a security geek, I find the Slack trend … troublesome.
It particularly disturbs me how many people are passing confidential and sensitive data over Slack without giving it a second thought. Everything from customer names, details, through to architectural information. Even worse are those using bots to automate their infrastructure, and hooking them into Slack. You're passing sensitive information through an unsecured channel (Slack doesn't employ end-to-end security, and themselves tell you to consider it the same as using Facebook, public facing email service, etc.), and you don't see that as a problem? Worse with all powerful bots you're leaving yourself open to malicious actors taking you down.
