At the time, LockBit ransomware operators claimed to have stolen over 6 terabytes of data from Accenture’s systems, demanding a $50 million ransom to be paid in exchange for keeping the data private.
Given that Accenture did not pay the requested amount in due time, the attackers published over 2,000 files allegedly stolen during the incident, threatening to publish more of them.
Accenture said at the time that it was able to quickly contain the incident and restore affected systems from backups, but did not provide specific details on the type of data that was stolen.
