Data breach at govtech giant Conduent balloons, affecting millions more Americans | TechCrunch
"The stolen data includes individuals' names, Social Security numbers, medical data and health insurance information. One of the largest government contractors today, Conduent handles and processes large amounts of personal and sensitive information on behalf of large corporations, government departments, and several U.S. states. The company says its technology and operational support services reach more than 100 million people in the United States across various government healthcare programs."
"Little else is known about the breach, and the company has disclosed few details. The spokesperson would not say if the breach affects more than 100 million people. Collins said that the company has been working to "conduct a detailed analysis of the affected files to identify the personal information" taken in the breach, but would not say how many data breach notifications the company has sent out to date."
A January 2025 ransomware attack on Conduent has expanded in scope, now affecting at least 15.4 million people in Texas and 10.5 million in Oregon, with additional notifications across several other states. Stolen records reportedly include names, Social Security numbers, medical data, and health insurance information. Conduent processes large volumes of sensitive personal data for corporations and government entities and reaches over 100 million people through government healthcare programs. Conduent provided limited, boilerplate responses and declined to confirm the total number of affected individuals or how many notifications have been sent. Few technical or forensic details about the breach have been released.
