Vimeo data breach exposes personal information of 119,000 people. May 17, 2026 BleepingComputer reports: The ShinyHunters extortion gang stole personal information belonging to over 119,000 people after hacking the Vimeo online video platform in April, according to data breach notification service Have I Been Pwned. 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 April 27 that customer and user data had been accessed without authorization following a recent breach at Anodot, a data anomaly detection company. "Our initial findings suggest that the databases accessed primarily contain technical data, video titles and metadata, and, in some cases, customer email addresses," Vimeo said.
