[Coe-grad] Potential Data Breach Awareness

[College of Education Graduate Student Mailing List]

This message was sent on behalf of Joshua Kukus, IT Manager for the College. Original message is as follows:

Hello everyone,

You may have heard about a serious data breach recently involving MoveIT, a popular file sharing service. Fortunately, it appears as though FSU has avoided any significant exposure, and our stakeholder's data has not been compromised as part of this breach. Many higher education institutions and businesses have been impacted by the breach, including but not limited to the University System of Georgia, Shell Gas, United Health Care, The US Department of Energy, Johns Hopkins University, and the National Student Clearing House.

Some of you may have received an email if your data was compromised because an institution with access to your confidential information was exposed. I have attached one such example of an email correspondence notifying the user and offering free identity theft protection services. I strongly encourage any of you who have received such notifications to subscribe to the identity theft protection if offered, especially if they are offering LifeLock like in the provided example.

Additionally, there will be malicious actors attempting to take advantage of this breach, especially since it is so wide reaching. You may receive phishing attempts that lead you to a website or give you a phone number to call. Please exercise caution and make sure you're not giving out confidential information to unvetted third parties.

If you'd like to know more about the MoveIT breach this a great article<https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/moveit-breach-timeline/687417/> and if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
