Hackers leaked stolen documents from a massive IT company that services the Pentagon.
According to Bloomberg News, the IT company, Leidos Holdings, recently learned about the breach and believe the documents were stolen from Diligent Corp.
“The Virginia-based company, which counts the U.S. Department of Defense as its primary customer, used the Diligent system to host information gathered in internal investigations, the report added, citing a filing from June 2023.” Reuters reported.
“A Diligent spokesperson told Bloomberg that the leak appeared to be from a 2022 hack affecting its subsidiary business Steele Compliance Solutions, which it acquired in 2021. Fewer than 15 customers, including Leidos, used the product at the time.” Reuters reported.
Bloomberg reported:
Hackers have leaked internal documents stolen from Leidos Holdings Inc., one of the largest IT services providers to the US government, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Leidos recently learned of the issue and believes the documents were stolen in a previously disclosed breach of a Diligent Corp. system it used, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public. Leidos is investigating the issue, the person added.
Hackers and cyberattacks are becoming very common on Joe Biden’s watch.
Earlier this month one of the largest healthcare systems in America canceled all non-urgent visits, procedures, and surgeries due to a computer outage linked to cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that major “IT outages” are being reported across the world, affecting banking systems, health care systems, emergency services, and airlines’ communications.
Mass General Brigham, which serves 2.5 million patients annually across its 15 hospitals and clinics, has suspended all non-urgent visits, procedures, and surgeries.
Our elections aren’t even secured.
