Summary
Conduent, a government contractor, has announced that a data breach has affected millions of people. The breach has resulted in the theft of personal data, and those affected are receiving notices warning them of the incident. The number of people impacted is growing, with the initial estimate being revised upwards.
Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious in its underestimation of the breach’s impact.
Conduent’s data breach has exposed millions of people’s personal data, and the company is still sending out notices to those affected. Because what’s a few million more people, really? The breach is just another example of a company collecting and storing vast amounts of sensitive information, only to lose control of it. The “new” feature here is the staggering number of people affected.
