IT services firm Cognizant has notified customers of a data breach that occurred on April 21, 2026, which may have exposed personal information, while stating that there is no evidence so far that the data has been misused, as per multiple reports.

“While we have no reason to believe that your information was misused, we thought it prudent to make this notification,” Cognizant said in the letter. “We deeply regret this incident and any inconvenience to you.”
