Ah, project management tools: the digital darlings of the modern office. In an age where we can’t remember where we left our real keys, at least we can forget to secure our digital ones. These platforms promise seamless collaboration, task management, and the ultimate stress-free workday. That is, until a hacker decides to turn your Kanban board into a ‘Can-you-not’ board.

According to a report, the cost of a data breach averages out to about $4.88 million. But who’s counting? Certainly not the project managers intentionally leaking their Trello boards to spice up the quarterly meeting with a surprise ‘Guess Whose Access Just Got Compromised’ game. Surely, it’s all part of the agile process: adapting, learning, and losing your mind along with your data.

And speaking of surprises, 2024 brought the delightful revelation that over 15 million Trello user profiles became the internet’s shiniest new trading cards. Remember, folks, nothing says ‘team-building exercise’ quite like trying to retrieve your shared project files from a hacker forum halfway around the world. So, next time you use your favorite project management tool, don’t forget to say thanks to the real MVPs: your unsuspecting IT department armed with FluentPro Backup solutions and a never-ending supply of antacids.
