Conduent Breach Exposes Personal Data of Over 10.5 Million in Major 2025 Cyberattack

The 2024 data breach at Conduent Business Services has affected over 10.5 million individuals across multiple U.S. states, including more than 4 million in Texas and thousands in Washington and Maine. The breach, attributed to the SafePay ransomware group, involved unauthorized access to sensitive personal information such as names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, medical data, and health insurance details, spanning from October 21, 2024, to January 13, 2025. Despite the scale of the stolen data, there has been no indication of misuse so far. Conduent, a major business process outsourcing provider supporting government and private sectors, has faced criticism regarding its cybersecurity practices, and the breach has negatively impacted the company’s stock, which has dropped significantly. The incident ranks as one of the largest healthcare-related data breaches globally and has raised concerns about data security preparedness in firms handling vast amounts of sensitive information. While Conduent is notifying affected individuals and regulators, it is encouraging them to monitor credit reports rather than providing identity theft protection services.
