Modi Govt's Reliance on Consultants: Nearly 1,500 in 44 Departments Are Annually Paid Rs 302 Crore
This, however, does not include 1,037 Young Professionals, 539 independent consultants, 354 domain experts, 1,481 retired government officers, and 20,376 other low-paid staff hired on contract by 76 departments employed either directly or through outsourcing agencies.
Deloitte confirmed to me that they were affected: "Our analysis determined that our global network use of the vulnerable MOVEit Transfer software is limited. Having conducted our analysis, we have seen no evidence of impact to client data."
"Immediately upon becoming aware of this zero-day vulnerability, Deloitte applied the vendor’s security updates and performed mitigating actions in accordance with the vendor’s guidance."
According to Emsisoft, there are now more than 500 victims.

Unfortunately for capitalism, auditing is irredeemably broken. The Big Four auditors (#PWC, #EY, #Deloitte and #KPMG) have merged to monopoly, becoming #TooBigToFail and #TooBigToJail. These four gigantic firms have spun up fantastically lucrative "consulting" divisions that advise companies on how to cheat on their audits and attain incredible (paper) gains.
Mariana Mazzucato: ‘The #McKinsey's and the #Deloitte's have no expertise in the areas that they’re advising in’
"Consultancies and outsourcers, Mazzucato argues, know less than they claim, cost more than they seem to, and — over the long term — prevent the public sector developing in-house capabilities." https://www.ft.com/content/fb1254dd-a011-44cc-bde9-a434e5a09fb4
