Lawsuits and Investigations Mounting Over Conduent Data Breach
Federal class action lawsuits and multiple investigations are emerging against Conduent Business Solutions after the company revealed a significant data breach from October 2024. The incident allegedly exposed personal and health information of over 10.5 million individuals.
As of Tuesday, at least nine proposed class action cases have been filed in a New Jersey federal court since October 27. The filings followed Conduent's report to state regulators confirming that the breach affected approximately 10.52 million people.
Several law firms have also publicly stated they are reviewing the Conduent breach for potential additional lawsuits. The growing legal activity underscores mounting pressure on the company to address privacy and security failures.
"New Jersey-based Conduent provides a wide range of back-office services to businesses and governments in 22 countries and reported $3.4 billion in revenue in 2024."
Conduent was established in January 2017 when Xerox separated its business services division into an independent, publicly traded company.
