Chesapeake College has been alerted that some information may have been impacted due to a third party data breach. The data breach is the result of the MoveIt transfer tool, whereby an unauthorized individual received access to files within third-party systems that contained some of Chesapeake College’s student and faculty information. While the extent of the breach still remains unclear, Chesapeake College is actively working to receive further information and ensure that impacted individuals are notified.
