Newsletter 07/23/2023 Back to Contents


I did not intend on writing this series of articles.  As the news surrounding MOVEit kept evolving, so did the story.  The number of US based victims is now 295, as of July 23, 2023.  And these are not no name tech firms that no one has ever heard of. Many of the MOVEit victims are household names recognizable to most anyone.  Been to a Rite-Aid pharmacy, lately?

This should all be of some importance to most people.  Any day, any Consumer could receive a letter advising the Consumer that, as a victim of the data breach at ZYX, Corp, "You are entitled to Compensation. Join the Class Action Lawsuit named herein."  Or, you may get a letter from XYZ, Corp. telling you how sorry they are that all your personal data in the possession of XYZ, Corp. is now in the hands of Russian cybercrooks.  But here is one free year of credit monitoring.  Thanks for playing along at home.

The best way to understand the evolution of MOVEit is chronologically, either beginning with the present and working backwards, descending order; or begin at the beginning.  I list the articles below in descending order.  Navigation is simple.  The hyperlinked article is shown in RED.  All articles open in their own Window.  Simply close that tab and you will return here.
