"Vice Media Data Breach Included Financial Data"

Vice Media notified users whose personal data may have been compromised as a result of a data breach involving the media organization. According to Vice's filings with Maine's Attorney General, over 1,700 individuals were affected by the incident. Unauthorized access to Vice's systems may have exposed users' bank account numbers or payment card numbers, along with security codes, access codes, passwords, or PINs. Vice discovered abnormal system activity on March 29, 2022, and later secured the company's networks and hired cybersecurity firms to examine the nature of the attack. Experts in cyber security criticize companies for taking months to alert customers of potential data breaches. While hacked organizations perform internal investigations, threat actors may exploit stolen information to launch attacks.
