Reuters was not able to verify details in the report by the Guardian, which initially broke **news of the hack in September** . Representatives with Deloitte did not respond to requests for comment. Deloitte told the newspaper it believed the hack had only “impacted” six clients and that it believed the attack on its systems, which began a year ago, was now over, the Guardian reported.
