Tens of thousands of New York City students were among the millions of victims who have had their personal information compromised through the recent MOVEit data breach, education officials said Friday.
A security vulnerability in the file-sharing software MOVEit — widely used by private companies and governments to safely transfer documents and data — has wreaked havoc in recent weeks as hackers accessed sensitive information across the globe.
Officials estimated roughly 45,000 students, as well as education department staff and service providers, were impacted by the data breach. For those affected, that could mean social security numbers, OSIS numbers, dates of birth, and employee IDs were stolen.
Roughly 19,000 documents were also accessed without authorization, including student evaluations and related services progress reports, Medicaid reports for students receiving services, as well as internal records related to DOE employees’ leave status.
City officials said they would notify individuals whose data was compromised “this summer,” though they did not specify a date.
