New plaintiffs join class action against Cognizant’s TriZetto over data breach
New plaintiffs are seeking over $5 million in damages from Cognizant’s TriZetto following a year-long data breach.Summary
A class action lawsuit against Cognizant’s subsidiary, TriZetto Provider Solutions, has expanded with new plaintiffs seeking damages exceeding $5 million and improvements to data security. The lawsuit alleges that an unauthorized party gained access to TriZetto’s web portal in November 2024, but the breach went unnoticed for almost a year. The exposed data reportedly includes sensitive personal information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, and health insurance identifiers. Plaintiffs Dante de la Pena and Sharyn Anne Limbos Vadla claim that Cognizant and TriZetto failed to implement adequate data security measures. Cognizant acknowledged the incident, stating they take data protection seriously but declined to comment further due to ongoing litigation.
