Atlassian and Envoy Briefly Blame Each Other For Data Breach
Atlassian was quick to point the finger of blame for the breach at Envoy, which the Sydney-headquartered company uses to organize its office spaces. “On February 15, 2023, we learned that data from Envoy, a third-party app that Atlassian uses to coordinate in-office resources, was compromised and published,” Atlassian spokesperson Megan Sutton said in a statement shared with TechCrunch. “Atlassian product and customer data is not accessible via the Envoy app and therefore not at risk.” Envoy, however, was just as quick to rebuff Atlassian’s claims. Envoy spokesperson April Marks told TechCrunch that the startup is “not aware of any compromise to our systems,” 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 changed its stance to align more closely with Envoy. Atlassian’s 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.” “As such, the hacking group had access to data visible via the employee account which included the published office floor plans and public Envoy profiles of other Atlassian employees and contractors,” Sutton added. “The compromised employee’s account was promptly disabled eliminating any further threat to Atlassian’s Envoy data. Atlassian product and customer data is not accessible via the Envoy app and therefore not at risk.” In a statement to TechCrunch, Envoy’s Marks ruled out a breach on its end: “We found evidence in the logs of requests that confirms the hackers obtained valid user credentials from an Atlassian employee account and used that access to download the affected data from Envoy’s app.”

The D&D World Is On Fire Right Now, And Wizards Of The Coast Can Only Blame Itself
When it comes to the world of tabletop RPGs, there’s Dungeons & Dragons, and then there’s everything else. Indeed, Dungeons & Dragons’ dominance of the market is so complete that you could argue that most D&D players don’t even realize that there is an alternative–similar to Pokemon and its imitators.
However, in recent weeks, D&D brand owner Wizards of the Coast has done nearly all it can to incense and repulse the players and partners that support it–and according to one report, it apparently took a wave of canceled subscriptions to finally convince the company to reverse course. So, what was the source of the conflict, and why were so many loyal D&D fans ready to jump ship to lesser-known competitors like Pathfinder and 13th Age? As usual, it has to do with money and market dynamics, and for a lot of D&D players, it might be a case of too little, too late.
Humble beginnings
When Dungeons & Dragons was introduced in 1974, it was the world’s first commercially available tabletop role-playing game, and it made the most of that head start. While some things have changed over the years, D&D has always enjoyed a massive slice of the market, and its 5th edition (now almost a decade old) has seen the largest boom of popularity in the hobby’s venerable history. Late last year, when Wizards of the Coast announced the follow-up to 5e, titled “One D&D,” some fans worried that Wizards would take a more proprietary approach to licensing third-party D&D content in order to drive more revenue to parent company Hasbro.
