FBI removes Accenture contractor after missed patch breach
Original: FBI removes Accenture contractor after missed security patch led to breach
The FBI has removed an Accenture contractor from its work after a missed security patch led to a breach of FBI systems. The incident has raised fresh questions about the bureau's reliance on outside IT contractors and its internal patch-management practices, with reporting from Nextgov/FCW drawing attention to the episode.
Why now: A cybersecurity failure involving a major government agency and one of the world's largest IT contractors is drawing scrutiny of federal security practices.
