Conduent Business Solutions, a major government contractor for back office services, is notifying individuals of a three-month-long data breach. The incident leaked the personal and health information of more than 10.5 million Americans, making it the eighth-largest healthcare leak in U.S. history.
According to the company’s disclosure, hackers breached the company’s network around October 21, 2024, and began exfiltrating data related to Medicaid, child support, food assistance, and toll programs.
However, Conduent only learned of the cyber intrusion on January 13, 2025, after detecting “operational disruption,” which shut down critical services in multiple states after “a ‘threat actor’ gained unauthorized access to a limited portion of the Company’s environment.
