Accenture left a huge trove of sensitive data on exposed servers

Quite unforgiveable for a company that does cloud consultancy.

According to Vickery, the largest server contained over 137 gigabytes of data, which included large databases of credentials, some of which appeared to relate directly to Accenture customers. Vickery also found almost 40,000 passwords in one backup database — the vast majority were stored in plaintext.
