A significant data breach at Conduent, a major government technology contractor, has affected potentially millions more people than initially reported. Originally disclosed in October 2025, the breach now impacts at least 15.4 million Texans—about half the state's population—up from an earlier estimate of 4 million. Oregon's attorney general reports another 10.5 million individuals are affected. Notifications have also been sent to hundreds of thousands in Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and other states. The breach, linked to a January 2025 ransomware attack by the Safeway gang, has compromised sensitive information, including names, Social Security numbers, medical data, and health insurance details. Conduent handles extensive personal data for various clients, including government departments and corporations, affecting over 100 million people in the U.S. Despite inquiries, Conduent has been vague about the true scope of the breach and has not clarified how many people are ultimately impacted. The company only confirmed that it’s working on identifying the stolen data and plans to complete individual notifications by early 2026. The lack of transparency and specific details from Conduent raises concerns about accountability and the security of sensitive information in the hands of such a large contractor.
