Wow, all three customers?

Does anyone know how many customers they do have to put this into perspective ?

I think they recently received 60 million of investment, so it's more than 3.

Given Zendesk is a Rails shop, Id love to hear if this hack was related to any of the recent Rails exploits

"As soon as we learned of the attack, we patched the vulnerability and closed the access that the hacker had."

Ok, so striking out so far. The machine is still running? With the same software (patched) and user accounts? How do you know only 3 users were exposed?

My thoughts exactly, lol. The headline is truly hilarious when you consider the typically quite spectacular number of compromised accounts reported in most other high-caliber incidents.

Well done Zendesk.

If it was, at it occurred after the vulnerabilities were made public, they probably wouldn't say so as it would look pretty bad given the amount of advance warning they had.
