- Conduent breach exposed data of 17,000 Volvo North America employees
- Hackers stole names, Social Security numbers, and medical and insurance data, affecting tens of millions across the country.
- SafePay ransomware claimed responsibility and extracted 8.5 TB of sensitive information
Approximately 17,000 Volvo employees, customers and staff across North America have had their data exposed in the recent Conduent breach, as the fallout continues.
In January 2025, Conduent discovered that hackers remained on its network for approximately two and a half months at that time, leaking sensitive data about its employees, among other things.
Now, more than a year after the breach was discovered, Conduent notified Volvo Group North America that its employees were affected, and the company passed the message on to its staff.
SafePay claims responsibility
In its data breach notification letter, Volvo did not say exactly what type of information was captured, other than people’s names; However, previous reports claim that the data stolen from Conduent includes names, Social Security numbers, medical data, and health insurance information.
Conduent Incorporated is an American business process services company that offers a range of services such as transaction processing, automation and analytics in various sectors such as healthcare, transportation and government. Some of its largest clients include the US Secret Service, District of Columbia Medicaid and others. It serves hundreds of government and transportation organizations.
Conduent also said there is no evidence that data is being abused in the wild, but still offered everyone affected free credit monitoring and identity theft services.
According to the latest reports, tens of millions of people are affected by this breach. In Texas alone, 15.4 million people are affected, representing approximately half of the state’s total population. According to the Oregon Attorney General’s Office, that state has more than 10 million people affected.
Additionally, Conduent apparently reached “hundreds of thousands” of people in Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and other states.
A ransomware operation known as SafePay took responsibility for this attack and claimed it stole 8.5TB of data. SafePay isn’t as popular as LockBit or RansomHub, but it did find some notable names, including Ingram Micro.
