Popular collaboration tool Slack is the latest to suffer a security breach involving its GitHub repositories, with the company reporting that private source code was stolen in late December.

Slack debuted its long-awaited direct messaging feature but within just a few days it was gone, pulled due to a technical oversight that created major security concerns.
