07:50 AM EDT, 07/24/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Leidos Holdings' ( LDOS ) internal documents were stolen and leaked by hackers, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed person familiar with the matter.

The company, which is an IT service provider for the US government, believes the documents were stolen in a prior third-party data breach in 2022, the source told Bloomberg.

Leidos ( LDOS ) utilized the Diligent system to host information gathered in internal investigations, the report said.

"We have confirmed that this stems from a previous incident affecting a third-party vendor for which all necessary notifications were made in 2023," a Leidos ( LDOS ) spokesperson was quoted as saying in the report. "This incident did not affect our network or any sensitive customer data."

Leidos ( LDOS ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
