FLORHAM PARK, N.J.– The security of credit union members’ data is again at risk, as more than 25 million people have now had personal data stolen in a hack of Conduent, which provides printing, mailroom services, and document and payment processing services for state government benefit operations, such as food assistance, as well as workplace and unemployment benefits for large corporations.
Conduent says its technology and operational support services reach more than 100 million people.
But since the January 2025 cyberattack, which a ransomware group claimed credit for, the corporate giant has said little about the data breach, such as how it was caused and how many people are affected.
Who’s Affected
An update to the state of Wisconsin’s data breach notification page now shows the Conduent breach affects at least 25 million people across the United States.
According to a tally compiled by TechCrunch of the various data breach notification letters it has reviewed, of those affected about 10.5 million are in Oregon and another 15.4 million are in Texas, which is the majority of those at risk.
Other data breach notices seen by TechCrunch include another few hundred thousand individuals across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Washington, the publication reported.
The Info Breached
The breach is known to have compromised individuals’ names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, health insurance information, and medical data.
TechCrunch added that Conduent has said little outside of its data breach notifications, and in some cases has made it more difficult for affected individuals to learn about the breach.
