Hacker 888 claims to have stolen 35GB of sensitive corporate data from Accenture. The alleged theft includes source code, cryptographic keys, and employee records intended for sale.
Accenture acknowledges a security incident but labels the hacker's claims as significantly exaggerated. An internal investigation confirmed that unauthorized access was limited to the data of three employees.
The breach occurred via an isolated, internet-facing credential node that the company has since remediated. Accenture reports no evidence of a large-scale compromise or impact on client services.
