Investigation notes

Vacation Myrtle Beach, a company operating in the hospitality and travel booking industry, filed a data breach notification with the Indiana Attorney General on May 15, 2026. This report details an unauthorized security incident that occurred on June 14, 2025. The filing confirms that customer data exposed in the incident includes Full Name, Email Address, Mailing Address, Phone Number, Payment Card Information, Billing Address, Purchase and Reservation History, and Account Password Credentials.

The confirmed exposure of such a broad range of personal and financial information creates significant risks for affected individuals. Compromised payment card details could lead to unauthorized charges, while stolen account credentials might allow fraudulent access to other online services. Furthermore, the combination of names, addresses, and purchase history can be exploited by cybercriminals to craft highly convincing phishing schemes, increasing the risk of further identity theft.

As a custodian of sensitive customer data, Vacation Myrtle Beach has a legal obligation under state consumer protection statutes, including the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act, and common-law negligence principles to implement robust data security measures. These requirements include administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access. The occurrence of this data breach raises concerns about whether these mandatory security standards were adequately maintained by the company.
