Cognizant TriZetto Data Breach Sparks Wave of U.S. Lawsuits - USA Herald
Cognizant faces lawsuits alleging a delayed disclosure of a data breach affecting TriZetto healthcare claims data.Summary
Cognizant Technology Solutions is embroiled in a series of class-action lawsuits in the U.S. stemming from a data breach at its healthcare subsidiary, TriZetto. Plaintiffs allege that Cognizant failed to promptly disclose the cyber intrusion, leaving sensitive personal data exposed for an extended period. Court filings indicate the breach began around November 2024, but wasn’t discovered until October 2025 – nearly a year later.
The lawsuits, brought by individuals like Liam Lytle, Maricruz Jimenez, and Carson Noel, claim the breach impacted at least 100 people across multiple states, compromising data including Social Security numbers, financial account details, and home addresses.
Plaintiffs argue that Cognizant and TriZetto either knew or should have known about the breach much sooner and neglected to notify affected individuals in a timely manner, hindering their ability to protect themselves against identity theft and fraud. The core of the legal challenge centers on the alleged delay in reporting the incident.
