The UC Prez on the Accellion Data Breach

As noted in a prior posting, UC President Michael Drake spoke to a virtual meeting of emeriti and retirees groups (CUCEA and CUCRA) on April 28. One of the topics he touched on was the Accellion data breach. Mainly, he talked about it in general terms referencing other such breaches in other organizations and recommended using "consumer protections" (which seemed to refer to the one year of Experian monitoring UC is offering). He made a reference to a forthcoming communication from UC. (In another session of the meeting - not with the prez - there was reference to some kind of notice that would be coming to those affected in 45-60 days.)
