According to a notice posted on their website, University of Utah reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The University of Utah recently learned of three vendor data breaches, each of which impacts a different group. On June 29, 2023, TIAA Kaspick advised the University of Utah that approximately 30 donors were affected by a breach involving TIAA Kaspick’s use of the MOVEit file transfer software. On July 7, the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America informed the University of Utah that the sensitive information of 13,8000 current and former employees were compromised. Although the notice doesn’t specifically indicate that this breach was related to MOVEit file transfer software, that may be the case.
