\u201cIn response to a cyber incident, Deloitte implemented its comprehensive security protocol and began an intensive and thorough review including mobilising a team of cybersecurity and confidentiality experts inside and outside of Deloitte,\u201d a spokesman said. \u201cAs part of the review, Deloitte has been in contact with the very few clients impacted and notified governmental authorities and regulators.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cThe review has enabled us to understand what information was at risk and what the hacker actually did, and demonstrated that no disruption has occurred to client businesses, to Deloitte\u2019s ability to continue to serve clients, or to consumers. We remain deeply committed to ensuring that our cybersecurity defences are best in class, to investing heavily in protecting confidential information and to continually reviewing and enhancing cybersecurity. We will continue to evaluate this matter and take additional steps as required.”<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cOur review enabled us to determine what the hacker did and what information was at risk as a result. That amount is a very small fraction of the amount that has been suggested.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Deloitte declined to say which government authorities and regulators it had informed, or when, or whether it had contacted law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n
Of course, as noted above, the breach is a deep embarrassment for Deloitte, which\u00a0offers clients advice on how to manage the risks posed by sophisticated cybersecurity attacks.<\/strong>\u00a0If only the company had followed its own advice.\u00a0 Even more awkward,\u00a0in 2012 Deloitte was ranked the best cybersecurity consultant in the world\u00a0<\/strong>and has a \u201cCyberIntelligence Centre\u201d to provide clients with \u201cround-the-clock business focussed operational security.” It is unclear if that unit was also hacked.<\/p>\nWhile we await an official statement from Deloitte, what comes next is lots of lawsuits and even more settlements. According to the Guardian, on 27 April Deloitte hired US law firm Hogan Lovells on \u201cspecial assignment\u201d to review what it called \u201ca possible cybersecurity incident\u201d. The Washington-based firm has been retained to provide \u201clegal advice and assistance to Deloitte LLP, the Deloitte Central Entities and other Deloitte Entities\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>about the potential fallout from the hack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
