Office of the Maine AG: Consumer Protection: Privacy, Identity Theft and Data Security Breaches

Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System was impacted by #MOVEit with the breach impacting 171,836 retirees and/or their beneficiaries.

Like #CalPERS and #CalSTRS, #TCRS was breached via service provider #PBI which works with multiple other pension plans. How many, if any, more were impacted is not yet clear.

There are now 141 known MOVEit victims, with the related breaches impacting the info of 15,659,731 people. Note that this number is based only on the disclosures of the 10 orgs which have actually confirmed the number of people affected.

#PBI Research Services - the company which exposed #CalPERS' data via #MOVEit - works with multiple other public pensions including #NVPERS, #NJDPB, and #TCRS.
It's almost become #fancy to do #scTCRseq and make conclusions on #specificity ...we are no where close to it...read this carefully. #Amazing #TCRs https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-023-00835-3
Can we predict T cell specificity with digital biology and machine learning? - Nature Reviews Immunology

Koohy and co-workers discuss how we must turn to machine-learning approaches to define the antigen specificity of the many millions of possible T cell receptors. They review the models and methods currently being used to predict cognate antigens for orphan T cell receptors.
