TCS flags alleged exposure of some employee data, says customer data not impacted
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) reported a potential exposure of limited, four-year-old employee data. The company confirmed that customer systems and data remain secure and unaffected by the incident.
Why it matters
As a major global IT services provider, TCS's security posture is critical to the stability of its international client base.
Tata Consultancy Services has received alerts alleging the possible exposure of certain employee-related data, India’s largest IT firm said on Monday, adding that there was no indication that customer data or systems have been impacted.
The information referenced in the alerts appears to be over-four-year old and limited to basic employee information, TCS said in a statement, without offering further details including who has issued the alerts and when.
TCS said it has had safeguards in place for over two years against the manner in which this attack was carried out. Its own operational systems have not been impacted, the IT firm said.
