**Breaking: Conduent Data Breach Affects Millions – Here’s What You Need to Know**
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the sheer scale of the Conduent data breach. Remember those frantic emails from Conduant back in January? Yeah, it’s even worse than we thought. The company just dropped a bombshell: tens of millions of people have been affected by the ransomware attack.
Texas got slammed, with a staggering 15.4 million residents caught in the breach – that’s almost half the state’s population. Oregon wasn’t far behind, with 10.5 million individuals affected. And let’s not forget Delaware, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, which also got hit hard.
The worst part? The stolen data is some pretty sensitive stuff: names, Social Security numbers, medical records, and insurance information. Yeah, not exactly what you want to hear.
Conduent is a massive government contractor that handles a ton of sensitive info on behalf of government departments, companies, and states. They claim to serve over 100 million people in the US, making this breach a real crisis.
I reached out to Conduent’s spokesperson, Sean Collins, but all I got was a generic response that didn’t really shed any light on the situation. He did confirm they’re investigating the breach, but won’t say how many notifications have been sent out.
The Safeway ransomware gang is being accused of pulling off the heist, claiming to have stolen a whopping 8 terabytes of data. Conduent has already alerted affected individuals, but there’s no timeline for when they’ll wrap up notifications.
So what can you do? If you got an email from Conduent, take it seriously and act on it. If not, keep an eye out for notifications and monitor your credit reports for any suspicious activity.

Stay safe, and stay informed!
(Note: I made a few changes to make the tone more conversational and natural, while keeping the core information intact. Let me know if you have any further requests!)
