One of the world's largest accounting firms has been hacked.
Hackers broke into a Deloitte administrative account,Online Selling (2025) according to The Guardian, and stole emails and other information pertaining to Deloitte clients.
SEE ALSO: Equifax was allegedly hacked months before the massive breach — by the same criminalsDeloitte brought in $37 billion last year for its consultancy in the areas of taxes, auditing, and also cybersecurity, which makes the way these hackers broke into Deloitte all the more embarrassing.
The account that hackers broke into didn't have two-factor verification, according to The Guardian. (Two-factor verification prompts a passcode to be sent to your phone after you sign into your email with a password. Hackers would need both your password and a way to read your texts to access your account.)
It's unclear which of Deloitte's clients were affected by the attack, but The Guardianwrote that some companies are "household names" and other clients include "U.S. government departments."
Deloitte reportedly knew about the hack in March. Attackers gained access to the company's emails back in October or November of 2016.
A Deloitte spokesperson described the number of clients affected as "very few," said the company contacted the government "immediately after it became aware of the incident," and said "no disruption has occurred to client businesses, to Deloitte’s ability to continue to serve clients, or to consumers."
This spokesperson also said the company will "remain deeply committed to ensuring that our cybersecurity defenses are best in class..."
Perhaps they should start with two-step verification.
