Vimeo confirms third-party breach exposed customer data
Video platform Vimeo has confirmed a data breach affecting some of its customers and users. The company disclosed that the unauthorized data access originated from a recent security breach at its third-party vendor, Anodot. The article confirms the exposure of user data.
Key Takeaways
- Vimeo confirmed unauthorized access to data belonging to some customers and users.
- The exposure followed a recent security breach at third-party vendor Anodot.
- The article does not specify which data fields were exposed or how many users were affected.

What to watch next is whether Vimeo discloses the scope of the exposed data and whether it identifies affected customers or users.
