Among other services, Accenture provides cyber-attack consulting. The after-action/autopsy report should be interesting.

6 TB of files stolen, $50 million ransom demand
In conversations seen by the Cyble research team, the LockBit ransomware gang claims to have stolen six terabytes of data from Accenture and are demanding a $50 million ransom.

The threat actors claim to have gotten access to Accenture's network via a corporate "insider."

Sources familiar with the attack have told BleepingComputer that Accenture had confirmed the ransomware attack to at least one CTI vendor, and the IT services provider is also in the process of notifying more customers.
