I've got no idea who codewall is. Is there acknowledgment from McKinsey that they actually patched the issue referenced? I don't see any reference to "codewall ai" in any news article before yesterday and there's no names on the site.

Yeah can't find much information either. I would like to see at least some proof. Either via Mckinsey or from the security team.

it is weird isn't it? The register article implies that it's acknowledged by McKinsey- https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/09/mckinsey_ai_chatbot_h...

Edit: Apparently, this is the CEO https://github.com/eth0izzle

If it's true that there's 58k users in the dump, that would mean former employees are in the dump

I assume that means McKinsey would need to disclose it, or at least alert the former employees of the breach?

There's a responsible disclosure timeline at the bottom indicating they'd all been fixed.
