Deloitte is Hacked. Hit by Cyber Attack, exposed million emails, RDP, VPN and proxy login details leaked.
Deloitte ranked #1 by Gartner in Security Consulting for the 5th consecutive year according to their website is hacked! This is due to a weak administrative password.
According to The Guardian, Deloitte discovered the hack in March this year, but believed the hacker or hackers may have access to their systems since October or November 2016. The hacker compromised the firm’s global email server through an “administrator’s account, that required only a single password and no multi-factor authentication.
In theory, if you have access to administrator account you have access to everything within that network. Wow! How they able and continue to be number one in Security Consulting in the world. I guess Gartner needs to do a better job choosing the next #1 Security Consulting for next year. 🙂
