Trello is a web-based, kanban-style, list-making application and is developed by Trello Enterprise, a subsidiary of Atlassian. [5] Created in 2011 by Fog Creek Software, [6] it was spun out to form the basis of a separate company in New York City in 2014 [7] [8] [9] and sold to Atlassian in January 2017. [10]
The name Trello is derived from the word trellis, which had been a code name for the project at its early stages. [11] Trello was released at a TechCrunch event by Fog Creek founder Joel Spolsky. [12] In September 2011 Wired magazine named the application one of "The 7 Coolest Startups You Haven't Heard of Yet". [13] Lifehacker said "it makes project collaboration simple and kind of enjoyable". [14]
In 2014, it raised US$10.3 million in funding from Index Ventures and Spark Capital. [15] Prior to its acquisition, Trello had sold 22% of its shares to investors, with the remaining shares held by founders Michael Pryor and Joel Spolsky. [16] [17] In May 2016, Trello claimed it had more than 1.1 million daily active users and 14 million total signups. [18]
In May 2015, Trello expanded internationally with localized interfaces for Brazil, Germany, and Spain. [19]
In 2016 Trello launched the Power-Up platform, [20] allowing 3rd party developers to build and distribute extensions known as Power-Ups [21] to Trello. Initial integrations included Zendesk, SurveyMonkey and Giphy. By January 2022 there were a total of 247 power-ups listed in the Power-Up directory. [22]
On 9 January 2017, Atlassian announced its intent to acquire Trello for $425 million. The transaction was made with $360 million in cash and $65 million in shares and options.
In December 2018, Trello Enterprise announced its acquisition of Butler, a company that developed a leading power-up for automating tasks within a Trello board. [23]

In 2020 Craig Jones, then cybersecurity operations director at Sophos, found that the company exposed the personally identifiable information (PII) data of its users, exposed through public Trello boards; the researcher first tweeted about this issue in the year 2018. [26] [27] [28]
On 16 January 2024 Trello suffered a data breach containing over 15 million unique email addresses, names and usernames, when the data was posted on a popular hacking forum. The data was obtained by enumerating a publicly accessible resource using email addresses from previous breach corpuses; it was then added on 22 January 2024 to the famous website collecting data breaches "Have I Been Pwned?". [29] [30]
Users can create task boards with different columns and move the tasks between them. [31] Typically columns include task statuses such as To Do, In Progress, Done.

Credential stuffing is a type of cyberattack in which the attacker collects stolen account credentials, typically consisting of lists of usernames or email addresses and the corresponding passwords, and then uses the credentials to gain unauthorized access to user accounts on other systems through large-scale automated login requests directed against a web application. Unlike credential cracking, credential stuffing attacks do not attempt to use brute force or guess any passwords – the attacker simply automates the logins for a large number of previously discovered credential pairs using standard web automation tools such as Selenium, cURL, PhantomJS or tools designed specifically for these types of attacks, such as Sentry MBA, SNIPR, STORM, Blackbullet and Openbullet.
