"900 US Schools Impacted by MOVEit Hack at National Student Clearinghouse"

The National Student Clearinghouse, an educational nonprofit that provides reporting, verification, and research services to colleges and universities in North America, has recently revealed that nearly 900 schools are impacted by the MOVEit hack.  The National Student Clearinghouse in late August informed Maine’s attorney general that more than 51,000 individuals were affected by the incident.  The National Student Clearinghouse said the compromised information includes name, date of birth, contact information, social security number, student ID number, and school-related records, including degree and enrollment records and course-level data.  The organization noted that the data affected by this issue varies by individual.  According to cybersecurity firm Emsisoft, which has been tracking the organizations directly and indirectly impacted by the MOVEit hack, the total number of victims reached 2,053 on September 22.  The total number of impacted individuals exceeds 57 million.
