Conduent’s Cyber Snafu: Data Lifted, But No Dark Web Drama Yet!
Conduent has alerted the SEC about a cyberattack that swiped personal data. Despite restoring systems swiftly, the business services provider admitted files with sensitive information were breached. Meanwhile, the Safepay ransomware gang cheekily flaunted Conduent on its leak site. So far, the stolen data remains off the dark web.
Hot Take:
Conduent’s cybersecurity hiccup is like that awkward moment when you trip in public but pretend it didn’t happen—except this time, your Social Security number might be showing! Whoops! Conduent assures us all is well now, but we can’t help but wonder if they had to bribe the ransomware gang with a lifetime supply of business services to keep our data safe.
Key Points:
- Conduent disclosed a cyberattack to the SEC involving stolen personal information.
- The attack impacted Oklahoma Human Services and Wisconsin’s Department of Children and Families.
- Conduent restored operations quickly and claims no lasting material impact.
- Personal data stolen included names, addresses, and Social Security numbers.
