ACCORDING to Have I Been Pwned, the ShinyHunters extortion gang stole personal information belonging to over 119,000 people after hacking the Vimeo online video platform in April. Vimeo is a video hosting and streaming platform publicly traded on the Nasdaq stock market, with over 300 million registered users and over 1,100 employees, and reported revenues of $417 million for FY2024.
The company disclosed on 27 April that customer and user data had been accessed without authorisation following a recent breach at Anodot. Vimeo said that their initial findings suggest the databases accessed primarily contain technical data, video titles and metadata, and, in some cases, customer email addresses. The breach was reported by DataBreaches[.]Net as part of coverage by Sergiu Gatlan.
