Baker College has been informed by the National Security Clearinghouse (NSC) about a cybersecurity issue that has resulted in a breach of personal student data. This breach affects many institutions across the United States, with Baker College being one of them. The NSC has reported that an unauthorized third party gained access to certain files that were transferred through the MOVEit Transfer tool, a file transfer software product used by the NSC. All schools are required to provide data to NSC, and files may have contained sensitive student information belonging to any of those institutions.

Baker College has full confidence in the security systems in place internally, and this breach is not a result of any error on Baker College’s behalf. At this time, no specific details have been provided regarding the exact information that may have been compromised. However, Baker College is committed to providing regular updates as the investigation progresses. The NSC has already released a statement outlining the immediate actions taken to inform affected customers and the protective measures implemented.

As more information becomes available regarding the breach, the affected users, and the extent of the compromised data, it will be posted on Baker College’s website. The NSC has also assured Baker College that they will provide a list of individuals who have been impacted by the breach once their review is complete. Baker College will then work closely with the NSC to notify and support those affected.
