Sabita J. Soneji Appointed to Leadership in TriZetto/Cognizant Data Breach MDL
Partner Sabita J. Soneji, Chair of Tycko & Zavareei LLP’s Privacy and Data Breach Practice Group, has been appointed by Judge John Andrew Ross to help lead the TriZetto/Cognizant data breach multidistrict litigation, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (MDL No. 3185).
The litigation arises from a cyberattack on TriZetto/Cognizant's network that allegedly began in November 2024 and was discovered in October 2025, exposing the personal and medical information of more than 3.4 million individuals. Trizetto is a health technology service used by health care systems as well as their vendors; Cognizant, its parent, is a massive IT service company. Plaintiffs assert claims including negligence, breach of contract, invasion of privacy, breach of fiduciary duty, and violations of state consumer protection laws.
