CaseyGerry is investigating developments related to the Workday data breach. If you received a notice or suspect that your personal or employment information was exposed, you may need guidance on what this means and what steps to take next.
What We Know About the Workday Data Breach
According to Yahoo Finance, Workday disclosed in August 2025 that attackers compromised a third-party software provider and then accessed data stored on Workday’s platform. However, Workday emphasized that its own systems remained secure. Instead, attackers relied on stolen customer credentials from the vendor environment.
To date, Workday has not confirmed how many individuals the breach affected. Meanwhile, reports indicate that the incident reached employees and records linked to hospital systems, universities, and Fortune 500 companies.
Information Exposed in the Workday Data Breach
Current reports indicate that attackers may have exposed:
-
Names
-
Email addresses
-
Employment records
-
Contact details
-
Access to Workday-hosted HR or CRM records
At the same time, Workday confirmed that attackers did not obtain Social Security numbers, bank account information, or passwords. Therefore, some of the most sensitive details appear to have remained secure.

-
Phishing attempts from impersonators
