There is no cost or obligation to you.

According to the complaint, on December 16, 2021, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, issued a "Threat Report" based on results from its months-long investigation into the surveillance-for‑hire industry, revealing that Cognyte (along with six private companies) regularly targeted, without their knowledge, journalists, dissidents, critics of authoritarian regimes, families of opposition, and human rights activists around the world, and collected intelligence on these people by manipulating them to reveal information and/or by compromising their devices and accounts, in violation of Facebook's multiple community standards and Terms of Service. As a result, Meta disabled Cognyte's ability to use its platforms, shared its findings with security researchers, other platforms, and policymakers, issued Cease and Desist warnings, and alerted the nearly 50,000 individuals who were believed to be targeted to help them strengthen the security of their accounts.

A lead plaintiff will act on behalf of all other class members in directing the Cognyte class-action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the class-action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share any potential future recovery of the Cognyte class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
