- Conduent breach exposed data from 17,000 Volvo North America employees
- Hackers stole names, SSNs, medical and insurance data, affecting tens of millions nationwide
- SafePay ransomware claimed responsibility and exfiltrated 8.5 TB of sensitive information
Approximately 17,000 Volvo employees, customers and employees across North America have had their data exposed in the latest Conduent breach as the fallout continues.
In January 2025, Conduent discovered that hackers had been in its network for about two and a half months at that point, exfiltrating sensitive data on its employees, among other things.
Now, more than a year after the breach was discovered, Conduent Volvo Group North America announced that its employees were affected and the company relayed the message to its employees.
SafePay assumes responsibility
In its data breach notification letter, Volvo didn’t say exactly what type of information was captured, other than people’s names — but previous reports claim data stolen from Conduent includes names, social security numbers, medical data and health insurance information.
Conduent Incorporated is an American business process company that offers a range of services such as transaction processing, automation and analytics across various sectors such as healthcare, transportation and government. Some of its largest clients include the US Secret Service, the District of Columbia Medicaid and others. It serves hundreds of government and transportation organizations.
Conduent also said there is no evidence the data is being misused in nature, but still offered free identity theft and credit monitoring services to all affected.
According to the latest reports, tens of millions of people are affected by this breach. In Texas alone, 15.4 million people are affected, which is approximately half of the state’s total population. According to the Oregon Attorney General’s Office, this state counts more than 10 million affected.
In addition, Conduent apparently reached “hundreds of thousands” of people in Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and other states.
A ransomware operation known as SafePay claimed responsibility for this attack, saying it stole 8.5 TB of data. SafePay is not as popular as LockBit or RansomHub, but it hit a few prominent names, including Ingram Micro.
