Original title: Conduent to pay $80M to settle 3rd-largest healthcare data breach
The nonreversionary fund covers monitoring and legal costs, still needs court approval, and Conduent denies fault.
Conduent signed an $80 million class-action settlement on October 16 over a breach that exposed data on about 62.2 million people, according to an SEC filing. Intruders were on its network from October 21, 2024 through January 13, 2025 and took names, addresses, birth dates, medical and health-insurance data, and Social Security numbers. If approved in the District of New Jersey, the fund is Conduent's full monetary obligation and also releases affected clients and their customers. Conduent denies fault and says cyber insurance should avoid a material financial impact.
