Cognizant said the malware outbreak will likely disrupt service for some of its customers, and possibly put them in danger as well.<\/p>\n<p>Maze is unusual among ransomware strains in that it not only encrypts the data on infected Windows machines, it siphons off copies of the originals as well. This gives the malware&#8217;s masterminds extra leverage \u2013 don&#8217;t pay the ransom and confidential corporate data can be leaked or sold online. It is feared Maze may have infected Cognizant&#8217;s customers, via the US service provider, and if that did happen, those clients&#8217; documents may have been stolen as well as scrambled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; the announcement read.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2020\/03\/19\/shutterstock_ransomware.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"ransomware locks up pc\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Don't take their word for it.

The biz has high-value customers in areas such as banking, health care, and manufacturing, and it is ranked in the Fortune 500, so any large-scale attack on its systems is potentially serious.<\/p>\n<p>The Maze miscreants may not have been the ones to actually compromise the Cognizant network, though.
