Vimeo has confirmed that more than 119,000 user email addresses were exposed in a data breach traced to a third-party analytics vendor, Anodot. The breach was first identified and reported by the Have I Been Pwned service.
According to Vimeo, the incident was limited to the exposure of email addresses and did not involve the theft of user passwords, payment card information, or other sensitive account data. The company has stated that it is working closely with Anodot to investigate the root cause of the breach and ensure that appropriate security measures are in place.
Vimeo users are advised to remain vigilant against potential phishing attempts that may use the exposed email addresses. While the impact appears to be limited, it serves as a reminder of the risks associated with third-party service providers and the importance of maintaining strong security practices across the entire supply chain.
