We’ve used Travis CI for a while, with this snippet at the end of our `.travis.yml`:

```
notifications:
  slack: ourcompany:ourkey

```

This has worked fine for years, but today (with no changes to our Travis config), instead of putting the build results into Slack, it put our integration key!

```
Travis CI 12:36:
Build x of x by x passed in 18 min 10 sec

Travis CI 16:35:
ourcompany:ourkey

```

It’s worth pointing out the message still had the green highlight of a successful build, and happened at the same time a build successfully finished.

Any ideas what caused this weirdness?

Thanks for reporting. We had a bad deploy for about 90 minutes earlier today. We’ve fixed this now, so this should not happen again. If you can, we ask that you rotate the token.

Thank you!
