Summary:
-
Leidos Holdings Breach: Hackers have leaked internal documents from Leidos Holdings, a key IT services provider for the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense. The breach is linked to a previously reported incident involving a system used by Leidos, managed by Diligent Corp.
-
Investigation Underway: Leidos recently became aware of the issue and is investigating. The stolen documents were hosted on Diligent’s platform, which was compromised in an incident affecting its subsidiary Steele Compliance Solutions in 2022.
-
Corrective Actions Taken: Diligent reported the breach and took corrective action in November 2022. Impacted customers were notified, but the recent leak highlights ongoing concerns over cybersecurity in government IT services.
