PORT ANGELES – Peninsula College officials released some new information Friday about the number of students, employees and retirees whose personal information may have been exposed by a third-party cybersecurity incident.

Earlier this summer, the popular filesharing application MOVEit Transfer used by hundreds of organizations worldwide was impacted by a cybersecurity incident. The College does not use the MOVEit software, but two of the college’s vendors do: NSC and TIAA.

For the NSC incident, PC learned they had only one student impacted. NSC is offering to provide two years of free credit monitoring services for that student.

The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges notified 12,400 employees and retirees across the state’s college system to tell them they are offering to provide two years of free credit monitoring services to these individuals as well.

College officials say the cyber breach did not impact Peninsula College’s network or internal systems.
