Vimeo is linked to a reported data breach in which the ShinyHunters extortion group allegedly stole a database containing personal information from users. According to breach-notification information reported by Bleeping Computer, the incident occurred in April and affected more than 119,000 people. TechRadar similarly reports that ShinyHunters leaked a stolen database, described as containing data such as email addresses and names. The two sources describe the same overall scale and attribution to ShinyHunters, and both frame the exposure as coming from information made available through breach notification or leaked datasets rather than through an official public disclosure in the provided text. The reports do not provide further specifics about whether the information includes additional fields beyond emails and names, nor do they detail how Vimeo users are being informed or what remediation steps are underway. Overall, the coverage centers on the claimed theft and subsequent leak of a user database and the number of people potentially impacted.
