“We have verified that the vast majority of systems which use this transfer service across our global organization are secure and were not compromised. We are manually and thoroughly investigating systems where data may have been accessed. Our priority is to first communicate to those impacted, as well as the relevant authorities. Our investigation is ongoing,” says the firm.
Ernst & Young (EY), PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as well as other organisations have been affected by the cyberattack made by cybercrime group Clop on the popular MOVEit file transfer tool.
EY’s global office said that it launched an investigation into its use of the MOVEit tool and took “urgent steps to safeguard any data” after software company Progress confirmed that their MOVEit file transfer product contained a “critical vulnerability” on May 31.
