"University System of Georgia Says 800,000 Impacted by MOVEit Hack"

University System of Georgia (USG) is starting to notify 800,000 individuals that their personal and financial information was compromised in the May 2023 MOVEit hack. The data breach occurred after the Russia-linked Cl0p ransomware group exploited a vulnerability in Progress Software's MOVEit Transfer managed file transfer (MFT) software and stole data from organizations using it. USG used MOVEit to "transfer and store sensitive data" and is the latest education entity to disclose the attack's impact. USG revealed that Social Security numbers, dates of birth, bank account numbers, and tax documents that included tax ID numbers were stolen in the attack.
