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

Accenture said the incident has been remediated and hasn't affected operations, but offered no further details. Security experts warn the stolen data could serve as a roadmap for future attacks, given Accenture's deep access to major enterprise systems worldwide.
