If you search for information on the Accellion data breach, what pops up is what you see above, i.e., information from just over a year ago.* We do know that UC extended the free monitoring by Experian beyond the first year.** But we don't know about the resolution, if any. Various institutions were hit by the Accellion breach, not just UC. If you poke around on the web, you will find references to lawsuits and settlements? Has there been a settlement with UC? Are individuals affected by the breach going to receive any recompense other than the free monitoring? There are references on the web to payments to individuals.*** As far as yours truly knows, however, UC has not notified individuals of such payments.
