TCNJ has been notified by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA) that a 3rd party vendor they use, Pension Benefit Information, LLC (PBI), had a data breach of their MOVEit transfer service. PBI has mailed notification letters to the affected individuals. If you have received a notification letter, we suggest you take advantage of the credit monitoring service from Kroll they are offering. Your TCNJ data was not affected by this breach, and we believe the proper security updates have been applied by the 3rd party vendor.
