"What began as a reported breach affecting 10 million customers has more than doubled in scale, making the January 2025 ransomware attack on IT services giant Conduent one of the largest data exposures of the year. Eight terabytes of sensitive information, including Social Security numbers and medical data, were stolen after attackers infiltrated the company's systems and triggered days of operational disruption."
"Now, months later, the true scope of the damage is still coming into focus. Details from the incident Conduent officially reported the breach in April of last year and revealed it affected 10 million users. However, new data from sources outside the company suggests more people were impacted. The company, which serves over 100 million US customers across various states, has not responded to the latest numbers."
A January 2025 ransomware attack against IT services provider Conduent initially was reported to affect 10 million customers but later grew to implicate roughly 25 million Americans. Attackers exfiltrated eight terabytes of sensitive information that included Social Security numbers and medical data and caused days of operational disruption. Conduent publicly reported the breach in April and markets a customer base exceeding 100 million U.S. consumers across multiple states. Independent sources and new data suggest the breach impacted more people than the company initially disclosed, and the company has not responded to updated impact estimates.
