July 25 – The Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”) data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the company was affected by a recent cyber security attack at Pension Benefit Information. The Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America data breach resulted in the names and Social Security numbers of certain individuals being compromised. It is believed to have impacted as many as 2,630,717 individuals.
According to the Attorney General of Maine, Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America reported a data breach after they were affected by a recent cyber security attack at Pension Benefit Information. TIAA relies on certain services provided by Pension Benefit Information which requires TIAA to provide PBI with certain confidential information belonging to those who have a relationship with TIAA. On May 31, 2023, Progress Software, the creator of MOVEit, announced a zero-day vulnerability within the MOVEit program. This vulnerability enabled hackers to access organizations’ MOVEit servers, including PBI’s. Because PBI was in possession of confidential information provided to the company by TIAA, certain individuals who have a relationship with TIAA had their information exposed to unauthorized access. On July 14, 2023, Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America sent out data breach letters to those individuals whose information was affected by the breach.
