A around the world have been affected by a vulnerability that was identified in Progress Software's MOVEit application. 麻豆国产AV College received confirmation from two of our service providers, National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) and the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA), that certain personally identifiable information of some members of our community may have been impacted.
麻豆国产AV College does not have a local instance of the MOVEit application and is not responsible for this data incident. If your information is impacted, you will be contacted by either the National Student Clearinghouse or the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association.
We have been notified by TIAA that TIAA systems and services were not impacted by this incident. The TIAA investigation confirms that retirement and financial information stored in TIAA systems and services remains secure and protected. TIAA has informed 麻豆国产AV that the incident involved Pension Benefit Information, a vendor that TIAA uses for verifying death notices and that uses the MOVEit Transfer tool.
