- Compliant breach exposed data of 17,000 Volvo North America employees
- Hackers stole names, Social Security numbers, medical and insurance data, affecting tens of millions of people nationwide.
- SafePay ransomware claimed responsibility, exfiltrating 8.5TB of sensitive information
Around 17,000 Volvo employees, customers and employees in North America had their data exposed in the recent Conduent breach, as the fallout continues.
In January 2025, Conduent discovered that hackers had been present in its network for approximately two and a half months, exfiltrating, among other things, sensitive employee data.
Now, more than a year after the breach was discovered, Conduent informed Volvo North America that its employees were affected, and the company relayed the message to its staff.
SafePay claims responsibility
In its data breach notification letter, Volvo did not say exactly what type of information was recovered, other than the names of the individuals. However, previous reports claimed that the data stolen from Conduent included names, Social Security numbers, medical data and health insurance information.
Conduent Incorporated is an American business process services company offering a range of services such as transaction processing, automation and analytics, across various industries such as healthcare, transportation and government. Some of its largest clients include the U.S. Secret Service, District of Columbia Medicaid and others. It serves hundreds of government and transportation organizations.
Conduent also said there was no evidence the data was being misused in the wild, but it still offered everyone affected free identity theft and credit monitoring services.
According to the latest reports, tens of millions of people are affected by this violation. In Texas alone, 15.4 million people are affected, about half of the state’s total population. According to the Oregon Attorney General’s Office, the state has more than 10 million people affected.
Additionally, Conduent apparently contacted “hundreds of thousands” of people in Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and other states.
A ransomware operation known as SafePay took responsibility for this attack, claiming to have stolen 8.5TB of data. SafePay isn’t as popular as LockBit or RansomHub, but it has hit a few prominent names, including Ingram Micro.
