Conduent breach may be largest in U.S. history as millions are notified
Feb 23rd 2026
Letters are being sent after a cyber attack that exposed personal and health data for over 10 million people, with free credit monitoring available if enrolled by April 30, 2026.
- Texas attorney general calls the Conduent attack the largest data breach in U.S. history.
- Conduent discovered the breach on January 13, 2025 after hackers had access from October 21, 2024 to January 13, 2025.
- Oregon Department of Justice counts more than 10 million people affected and the list is growing.
- Compromised data varies by person and can include addresses, Social Security numbers, medical records and health insurance information.
- Notification letters do not specify which clients hired Conduent, making it hard to identify the original data source.
- Affected people can get one year of free credit monitoring if they sign up by April 30, 2026 and can call 877-332-1658 for questions.
- Officials say the letters are legitimate and should not be thrown away.
- Immediate protective steps include freezing your credit, monitoring credit reports and accounts, reviewing statements for fraud, and watching for phishing attempts.
