MOVEit Attack Signals Growing Cybersecurity Threats for Higher Ed

Hacking attacks against higher education institutions are on the rise as other industries battered by cybersecurity threats tighten their defenses and many in education remain unprepared, experts warn.
The ransomware group called Cl0p appeared on the radar for many educational institutions in May after it took credit for a massive cyberattack against hundreds of organizations, including higher ed institutions. The group claims it stole data by breaching MOVEit, a software product used for file transfers, and security experts estimate the information of millions of people may be affected.
