"Personal data was stolen from Conduent, a company that provides printing, payment and document processing services for some of the largest health insurance providers in the nation. Addresses, Social Security numbers and health information were exposed. In Texas, as many as 15.4 million residents may have had their personal information compromised, while Oregon officials report another 10.5 million affected individuals."
"Conduent acknowledged the breach, posting online that it occurred from October 21, 2024 to January 13, 2025, and involved data held in its systems. The company said in its breach notice that 'not every data element was present for every individual,' meaning some victims may have had only certain details exposed, such as a Social Security number or health insurance information, but not both."
"If your information has been compromised, experts recommend taking steps to protect your identity, such as changing passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and considering a reputable data removal or identity protection service to reduce the spread of your personal data online."
