Clorox Sues Cognizant for $380M Over 2023 Cyberattack

Clorox, a company that makes cleaning supplies, is suing Cognizant, a tech company, for $380 million.

Clorox says Cognizant is responsible for a 2023 cyberattack that caused problems with Clorox's business.

The hackers simply asked Cognizant employees for Clorox workers' passwords, and Cognizant gave them the passwords without checking if they were really who they said they were.

This let the hackers into Clorox's network, making it hard for Clorox to ship products.

Cognizant says that Clorox's security was poor to begin with, but Clorox blames Cognizant for not following its own rules.
