Thousands of Oregonians are being notified about a data breach at TriZetto, where hackers accessed sensitive health information of over 700,000 patients. The breach went undetected for nearly a year, and Cognizant, TriZetto's parent company, is facing multiple lawsuits as a result.

Thousands of Oregonians are set to receive notifications about a significant data breach at TriZetto Provider Solutions (TPS), a company that handles insurance verification for healthcare providers. The breach, which occurred in November 2024, compromised sensitive health information and personal data for over 700,000 patients across multiple states. TPS only discovered the breach nearly a year later, on October 2, 2025, when they detected suspicious activity on their systems. Medical providers in Oregon, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and California were among the first to be informed in December 2025, with Deschutes County reporting about 1,300 affected patients, La Pine about 1,200, and Best Care around 1,650.
Despite the scale of the breach, the affected healthcare organizations assert there is no evidence of misuse of the stolen information, such as identity theft or medical fraud. No financial data was part of the breach. The parent company, Cognizant, now faces multiple class action lawsuits as a result of this incident. Cognizant stated that they took immediate action to mitigate the threat and engaged external cybersecurity experts for assistance.
This breach is not Cognizant's first encounter with legal trouble related to security failures. In July, they were sued by Clorox for $380 million after a 2023 cyberattack, which allegedly stemmed from their service desk providing passwords to attackers upon request. The ongoing legal challenges highlight ongoing concerns about the company's security practices and their ability to protect sensitive data.
