Govtech giant Conduent won’t rule out cyberattack as outage drags on
At least four states reported being affected by the outage, which Conduent says is ongoing.
An ongoing “service interruption” at government contractor giant Conduent sparked outages across several U.S. states, leaving residents without access to some benefits and support payments. Wisconsin’s Department of Children and Families told residents in a social media post January 17 it was unable to process child support payments across the state for much of the week. Oklahoma Human Services, which manages the state’s food assistance program, told residents in a social media post on January 9 that Conduent’s customer service line was hit by the “technical outage.” Spokesperson Casey White told TechCrunch the state’s systems are “working as expected” and that it experienced “no outages related to security at Conduent.”
