Accenture, the giant consulting company at the center of the controversy over a stolen computer tape containing confidential information on Connecticut taxpayers and government agencies, was involved in three other high-profile data breaches last year.


The Bermuda-based corporation last week became the target of a civil lawsuit filed by Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who accused Accenture of negligence, unauthorized use of state property, and breach of its contract to implement the state's problem-plagued $124 million financial management system known as CORE-CT.
