Chennai, April 20 (TIWN) Congnizant Technology Services, hit by Maze ransomware, is taking steps to contain the impact, according to the company.

The company, which has almost 300,000 employees, said it was hit by the “Maze" ransomware group and is engaging law enforcement authorities.  The anonymous hackers behind Maze have made headlines in recent months for publicly holding its victims hostage by threatening to leak company information if the target doesn’t pay its ransom.  “Cognizant can confirm that a security incident involving our internal systems, and causing service disruptions for some of our clients, is the result of a Maze ransomware attack," the company said in a statement. “Our internal security teams, supplemented by leading cyber defense firms, are actively taking steps to contain this incident."
