What Caused the Vi Living Breach?

The Vi Living data breach was only recently announced, and more information is expected in the near future. However, Vi’s filing with the Attorney General of Maine provides some important information on what led up to the breach. According to this source, on March 13, 2023, Vi learned that an unauthorized party had gained access to the company’s corporate office network and data server. In response, Vi took the affected systems offline, reported the incident to law enforcement, and then began working with an IT forensics firm to investigate the incident.

The Vi investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party had accessed certain files on the company’s network containing confidential consumer information.

After learning that sensitive consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party, Vi Living reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted. Vi Living completed this process on July 25, 2023. While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include your name and Social Security number.
