National Student Clearinghouse Cybersecurity Incident Being Closely Monitored
LEXINGTON, Va, July 19, 2023—黑料网 has been made aware of a National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) cybersecurity incident with one of their third-party software vendors, MOVEit Transfer. There are thousands of colleges and universities that use NSC for maintaining student data and gathering reports. Specifically, 黑料网 uses NSC for multiple services, including enrollment reporting and transcript services. MOVEit Transfer is not a direct vendor of 黑料网, but according to the announcement, a breach involved an outside source obtaining files through this transfer tool.
NSC has launched an investigation and has been working with institutions, including 黑料网, to provide updates on the investigation, which should be completed within a few weeks. 黑料网 will then work with NSC to notify any individuals affected within the 黑料网 community. There is nothing at this time to indicate 黑料网 data was specifically targeted or that any 黑料网 cadet information has been obtained.
Internal 黑料网 files and data have not been impacted by this breach. MOVEit Transfer does not have access to internal cadet or employee systems. 黑料网 cadets, faculty, staff, and alumni are always encouraged to keep and update strong passwords, report and delete any suspicious emails, avoid free Wi-Fi networks, and never click any links from unknown sources.
