Accenture has confirmed a security incident after a hacker posted on PwnForums claiming to have stolen 35 gigabytes of internal data — including Azure access keys, tokens, SSH and RSA keys, configuration files, and source code. The threat actor posted a screenshot of a private Azure DevOps repository on an accenture.com domain as proof, and listed the data for sale.

Accenture called it "this isolated matter," said it had "remediated its source," and reported no impact to operations or service delivery. It did not confirm what was taken, whether personal or client data was involved, or how the attacker got in.

Ross Filipek, CISO at Corsica Technologies, warns the stolen data could serve as "a playbook for future attacks" — exposing code vulnerabilities, credentials and infrastructure detail. Consulting firms make attractive targets precisely because of how deep their access runs into client systems.
