      Maybe we should use some kind of trustless system, where organizations have access to the underlying code.

    Leidos declined to comment on the stolen information. The Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security and NASA didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Bloomberg News reviewed some files that were purportedly from Leidos on a cybercrime forum, but details were redacted and Bloomberg couldn’t verify their authenticity.

    “We promptly notified impacted customers, including Leidos which Diligent initially notified in November 2022, and took immediate corrective action to contain the incident,” the spokesperson said.

    Leidos was formed in 2013 and later acquired Lockheed Martin Corp.’s information technology business. It was the largest federal IT contractor in the 2022 fiscal year, with $3.98 billion in contract obligations, according to Bloomberg Government data.
