Washington state auditor’s office breached in software ‘security incident’ [The Seattle Times]
Jan. 30 The Washington state auditor’s office says one of its software vendors was breached, likely leading to files being accessed by “an unauthorized user.”
State Auditor Pat McCarthy disclosed what she termed “a security incident” in a statement to The Seattle Times on Friday evening, saying the problem involved Accellion, a “third party provider of software services.”
“Although the security incident occurred in December, the service provider only confirmed this week that some files were likely to have been accessed by an unauthorized user. Other organizations using the service provider’s software also were affected,” McCarthy said.
