On October 7, 2022, Lake Nona Estates Management filed an official notice of a data breach with the Vermont Attorney General after an unauthorized party was able to gain access to sensitive consumer information stored on the company’s computer system. Lake Nona Estates has not yet posted notice of the breach on its website and has not otherwise clarified what data was leaked; however, based on state data breach reporting requirements, it would appear that the incident involved affected parties’ names and one or more of the following: Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses numbers, financial account information, or protected health information. Recently, Lake Nona Estates sent out data breach letters to all affected parties, informing them of the incident and what they can do to protect themselves from identity theft and other frauds.

What We Know About the Lake Nona Estates Management Data Breach

The available information regarding the Lake Nona Estates Management breach comes from the company’s filing with the Office of the Vermont Attorney general. According to this source, on about April 6, 2022, Lake Nona Estates detected unusual activity within its computer network. In response, the company revoked all access to outside users and began working with a third-party data security firm to investigate the incident as well as what, if any, consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party.

Ultimately, the Lake Nona Estates Management investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party had gained access to the company’s IT network. It was also determined that the unauthorized party may have removed some of the sensitive consumer information within the accessible files.

Upon discovering that sensitive consumer data was made available to an unauthorized party, Lake Nona Estates Management began to review the affected files to determine what information was compromised and which consumers were impacted. The company completed this process in August 2022; however, it has not publicly released a list of the data types that were subject to unauthorized access. That said, Vermont data breach reporting guidelines only require a company to file notice of a data breach if it involves consumers’ names and one or more of the following:

• Social Security numbers,

• Driver’s license or government ID numbers,

• Financial account information,

• Biometric data, or

• Protected health information.

On October 7, 2022, Lake Nona Estates Management sent out data breach letters to all individuals whose information was compromised as a result of the recent data security incident.
