PwC Confirms Cybersecurity Incident After Everest Claims 590 GB Data Theft
Original: PwC Confirms Cybersecurity Incident as Everest Claims Theft of 590 GB of Company Data
PwC has confirmed it is dealing with a cybersecurity incident after the hacking group Everest claimed to have stolen 590 GB of company data. The professional services firm acknowledged the breach but details about what information was taken and how many clients may be affected remain limited. Everest, which has previously targeted major corporations, lists the alleged stolen data as part of its claims. The confirmation raises fresh concerns about security at large consulting and audit firms.
Why now: The involvement of PwC, one of the world's largest professional services firms, and the hostage group's large data claim make the breach significant news.
