TCS told stock exchanges on Monday it received threat alerts about a possible leak of employee data, but its investigation found no credible breach of its systems or customer environments. Data security firm S2W reported that a threat actor named "TheHatman" offered over 800,000 TCS employee records for sale on an underground forum, attaching a sample of about 6,000 records. The company said the data appears to be more than four years old and limited to basic information like names and email addresses. TCS added that it has strong safeguards against the claimed attack methods and continues to monitor its environment.
