Dear SUNY Poly Faculty, Staff, Students, and Retirees:
We are reaching out to you about the MOVEit Transfer software cyber incident that has impacted institutions across the nation and three organizations that we work with – the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), TIAA, and Corebridge. Each organization has contacted us to alert us of the possibility that the personal information of our students, employees, and retirees may have been impacted. We have been assured by NSC, TIAA, and Corebridge that their systems have been secured and they are working with the FBI and global cyber security experts in an ongoing investigation to determine the impact of the cyber incident.
We wanted to let you know about this as soon as we were made aware because we know that safeguarding your personal data is of significant importance to all employees and retirees. Therefore, in the coming weeks, we expect potentially impacted individuals to be contacted by one or more of these organizations. If you do receive information from these organizations, they will outline an option for free credit monitoring; we recommend that you enroll in any free credit report monitoring offered by these organizations.
You may also wish to consider contacting the Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftc.gov/ or https://consumer.ftc.gov/features/identity-theft. In addition, here are links from two of the organizations where you can find additional information:
- National Student Clearinghouse MOVEit Security Issue: https://alert.studentclearinghouse.org/
- Corebridge: www.corebridgefinancial.com/vendor-incident
Again, if you were potentially impacted by the MOVEit incident, you will be contacted by one or more of the organizations. We will also update you directly once we have further information.
Thank you for your attention to this matter as we work to be as transparent as possible about any such data incident that may impact you.
