Cognizant notifies individuals and customers about a data breach and offers identity theft protection, according to reporting from India Today and Times of India. The company alerts affected people and provides a coverage offer aimed at mitigating potential impacts related to the incident.

Both outlets describe Cognizant’s outreach to affected parties and the provision of identity theft coverage valued at $1 million. The coverage is presented as part of the company’s response to the breach, alongside customer notifications.

The articles focus on the notification and consumer-protection elements of the response, particularly the identity theft cover amount. They do not, in the information provided here, offer extensive differences in interpretation about the cause of the breach, the specific data potentially involved, or the investigative findings. As presented across sources, the key shared point is that Cognizant is communicating with affected individuals and providing compensation coverage for identity theft risks.
