Vista Higher Learning Data Breach

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Vista Higher Learning data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Vista Higher Learning, which may have affected an undetermined number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Attorney General of Massachusetts states that the Vista Higher Learning data breach occurred due to a cyber security attack that was discovered on July 23, 2024 after the company detected suspicious activity within its IT network prompting an investigation. It was confirmed that an unauthorized party exploited a vulnerability and accessed part of VHL’s network on July 10, 2024 and also accessed files containing consumer information. Vista Higher Learning reviewed the files to determine which consumers were impacted and what information was compromised. While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include:

• and financial account information 

Data breach letters were sent out by Vista Higher Learning on September 6, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
