What happened
WIRED reports that an Accenture employee allegedly connected a personal AI coding assistant to a secure US Department of Defense system, where it could write and deploy code for about two months. The assistant may have sent passwords and a map of the network to an outside website. Accenture says an independent investigation found the allegations to be without merit.

What to do
- If you have an account with the company, change that password, and anywhere you used the same one.
- Turn on two-step sign-in where you can.
- Expect scam emails and texts that mention the breach: contact the company yourself, not through links.
