(Corrects name of government department to “Accountability” in headline and text, corrects to “CGI Federal” in first paragraph)
(Reuters) – The U.S. Government Accountability Office says it was notified of a data breach by IT contractor CGI Federal.
Reuters could not immediately ascertain the size and scope of the breach. The GAO said that about 6,000 people, “primarily current and former GAO employees from 2007 to 2017,” had been affected but did not immediately respond when asked whether other departments had been affected.
CGI Federal did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
(This story has been corrected to change the name of the government department to ‘Accountability’ in the headline and text, changes ‘it’ to ‘IT’ in the headline, and fixes ‘GCI Federal’ to ‘CGI Federal’ in paragraph 1)
