What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorInvesting.com reports, citing sources, that an Accenture contractor was removed from the FBI following a damaging data breach. Vera, bull case. Dale, bear case. Go.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a gift, Hank. They caught it, they removed the guy, and the Nasdaq is up one point oh five percent anyway. That's resilience.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorResilience? Vera, it's a leaky bucket holding state secrets. This is a bubble in trust, and it's popping like a cheap bean bag chair.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA breach is just a market dip for passwords. Accenture is a sturdy old oak, and oaks don't mind a squirrel in the attic.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA squirrel with classified files, Vera! And the ten-year is at five point three one one percent. The whole system is wearing wet trousers.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, you've never been this happy about anyone else's paperwork. Admit it, you're glowing.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDesk verdict: this is a sandwich left in a hot car. Technically still food, but nobody's volunteering. We move on.
