How to Know if You Were Affected
If you have received services from Conduent, which provides IT systems for Government services such as transportation, healthcare, customer experience, and human resources in states like California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia, you may be affected by the breach. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin before the official notice arrives.
What to Do if You Were Affected by the Conduent Data Breach
If you suspect that your personal data was compromised in the Conduent breach, it is crucial to take immediate steps to protect yourself. Start by reviewing any breach notifications from Conduent and carefully monitoring your accounts for any signs of unauthorized activity.
Although the breach occurred months ago, taking swift action can help reduce the risk of identity theft or fraudulent activity. By following these steps, you can safeguard your information and gain peace of mind.
Be Cautious of Phishing Attempts
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Conduent. Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls requesting personal information. Always verify suspicious communications directly with the company through official channels.
Track Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Frequently check your bank statements, credit card transactions, and credit reports for any signs of unusual activity. Set up alerts on your accounts to detect suspicious transactions quickly. You are entitled to free credit reports, so take advantage of them to review any unfamiliar accounts or errors.
Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added security, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name while still allowing you to use existing credit. You can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary, such as when applying for credit.
