Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has issued Civil Investigative Demands to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBS) and Conduent Business Services, LLC as part of an investigation into a major data breach that exposed the sensitive personal information of approximately 4 million Texans. The breach, which Paxton called “the largest data breach in U.S. history”, occurred between October 2024 and January 2025 when an unauthorized third party gained access to Conduent’s data systems.
Why it matters
This breach is a major privacy and security concern for Texans, many of whom had their names, social security numbers, medical information, and health insurance details exposed. Paxton is seeking to uncover whether BCBS or Conduent were negligent in their handling of this sensitive data, and to take action to protect Texas families from future breaches of this scale.
