Aug 10 (Reuters) - ⁠Tata Consultancy Services has received ⁠alerts alleging the possible exposure of ‌certain employee-related data, India's largest IT firm said on Monday, adding that there was ​no indication that customer ⁠data or systems ⁠have been impacted.

The information referenced in ⁠the alerts ‌appears to be over-four-year old and limited to ⁠basic employee information, TCS said in ​a ‌statement, without offering further details including ⁠who has ​issued the alerts and when.

TCS said it has had safeguards in ⁠place for over two years ​against the manner in which this attack was carried out. Its own ⁠operational systems have not been impacted, the IT firm said.

"Based on the current review, these controls remain ​effective, and the Company ⁠continues to monitor the environment closely," ​it said.
