A preliminary $80 million settlement has been proposed to resolve class-action litigation against Conduent Business Services, following a significant data breach in 2024. The breach, attributed to the SafePay ransomware group, compromised sensitive personal information of approximately 62.2 million individuals, including names, Social Security numbers, and medical details. The unauthorized access began on October 21, 2024, and lasted until January 13, 2025. Conduent, which provides back-office services, disclosed the incident to the SEC in April 2025. The settlement class is divided into two subclasses based on the accessibility of the compromised data. All affected individuals are entitled to credit monitoring services and potential cash reimbursements. Conduent denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to enhance its cybersecurity measures as part of the settlement.
