Deloitte hack hit server containing emails from across US government

The hack into the accountancy giant Deloitte compromised a server that contained the e-mails of an estimated 350 clients, including four US government departments, the United Nations and some of the world’s biggest multinationals, apparently. The incident was potentially more widespread than Deloitte has been prepared to acknowledge and that the company cannot be 100% sure what was taken. Deloitte said it believed the hack had only “impacted” six clients, and that it was confident it knew where the hackers had been. It said it believed the attack on its systems, which began a year ago, was now over. However, apparently, the company red-flagged, and has been reviewing, a cache of e-mails and attachments that may have been compromised from a host of other entities.
