He explained that the relevant authorities were immediately contacted, in anticipation of the impact of the attack, “the extent of which is still being evaluated.”  He announced that the matter had to reduce some services, namely:

CC folder or questions sent via email to [email protected];
CCclicks;
Order location;
CCC;
Access to invoices.
TOConline licenses;
Registration for on-demand events and other services based on the CC folder and website.

Finally, President Paola Franco informed that communication with members “is done through the call center service […] and face-to-face service,” and that “add-on, incidental, and e-learning training continues as normal.”

The expectations contained in the statement of the Association of Certified Public Accountants indicate that services may not be available today or tomorrow.
Regarding the personal data of members and former members of the organization, a comment published in the statement said that they are “protected” and that “the systems are disabled out of an abundance of caution.”
