Conduent Breach Exposes Health Data

Healthcare organizations and public programs are confronting major data-security incidents involving third-party systems, including a Conduent breach that reportedly exposed sensitive information belonging to millions of people.

The incidents have prompted investigations into fraudulent Medicaid enrollment, breach notification delays, vendor oversight, and protections for affected consumers. Available reporting does not establish that the Oklahoma Medicaid case and the Conduent breach are part of the same operation.
