The ongoing cyberattack exploiting MOVEit file-transfer software has taken a toll on US colleges and universities.

At least 30 institutions have been notified that personal information of students and employees may have been exposed through vendors — including the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, or TIAA — that use MOVEit or have a service provider that does, according to statements from the schools.
