The biggest data breach you've never heard of.
25 million people just had their health data exposed — by a company most of them had never heard of.
Conduent Business Services processes data for Blue Cross Blue Shield and other major insurers. Between October 2024 and January 2025, hackers stole names, SSNs, dates of birth, and medical claims for 25M+ people.
The credit monitoring enrolment deadline? Yesterday.
Here's what nobody's talking about: if you weren't around to open that letter, who would have acted for you?
Your digital footprint is far bigger than the accounts you use. It includes every company that processes your data behind the scenes.
A password can't protect what you don't know exists. But a Digital Directive can inventory it.

🧵 The biggest data breach you've never heard of — and why your estate plan needs to catch up.
1/ 25 million people just got breach letters from Conduent Business Services — a company most of them never knew had their data. Health records. SSNs. Medical claims. All exposed.
2/ The credit monitoring deadline was yesterday. But here's the real question: if you weren't alive to open that letter, who would have enrolled? Who would have frozen your credit?
3/ Your digital footprint isn't just the accounts you use. It's every invisible data processor behind the scenes. TELUS Digital lost 1PB of data — including FBI background checks. Navia exposed 2.7M. These aren't your apps. They're your data's apps.
4/ A password manager stores the keys to accounts you know about. A Digital Directive inventories the ones you don't. That's the difference between managing passwords and managing a digital estate.
Take Control of Your Digital Legacy
Your passwords, crypto, cloud accounts, and digital subscriptions don't disappear when you do — but without a plan, your family can't access them either.
