CHENNAI: Tech major Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS) has been cyber attacked on Friday night (4/17).
The company, one of the largest tech companies with 300k employees and $15 bn in revenues manages IT backbone for several Fortune 500 companies.

Cognizant can confirm that a security incident involving our internal systems, and causing service disruptions for some our clients is the result of a Maze ransomware attachment.
Our internal security teams, supplemented by leading cyber defence firms, are actively steps to contain this incident. Cognizant has also engaged with appropriate law enforcement authorities.
We are in an ongoing communication with our clients and have provided them with Indicators of Compromise (IOC) and other technical information of a defensive nature, the company said in a post.
It’s CEO Brian Humphries wrote to employees that it was a target of a ransomware attack, which comes of course on top of extraordinary Covid 19 challenges all of us are already dealing with.

- April 11 a threat actor offers to sell access to a huge IT company for $200,000.

- April 17th he closes the thread saying it is not relevant anymore.

- April 18th, Cognizant suffers a Ransomware by Maze.

Is it possible Maze bought that access and Cognizant was the company?
