Pentagon Data Drama: Leidos Breach Blamed on Third-Party Vendor Snafu
Hackers breached Leidos, stealing documents from the IT service firm for US government bodies, including the Pentagon. The breach stemmed from a 2023 third-party vendor issue, affecting neither Leidos’ network nor sensitive data.
Hot Take:
Looks like Leidos might want to consider “leidos-ing” out their IT services to someone else! When your documents are more exposed than a celebrity on a red carpet, it’s time to rethink your cybersecurity game.
Key Points:
- Leidos, an IT services provider for US government bodies, experienced a data breach.
- The breach stemmed from an earlier 2023 incident involving a third-party vendor, Diligent Corp.
- Leidos confirmed that no sensitive customer data or their network was compromised.
- Diligent Corp. indicated the issue was related to a 2022 incident affecting Steele Compliance Solutions.
- Bloomberg News could not verify the authenticity of the leaked documents.
