Was this a ransomware attack?

The filing does not say ransomware was involved. We do not label an incident ransomware unless the company’s report says so. Whatever the cause, the steps to protect yourself and the legal question are the same.

What we know

If you recently received a notification letter in the mail from Vacation Myrtle Beach, it means your personal records held by the hospitality company were compromised in a recent data security incident. Vacation Myrtle Beach officially reported this breach to the South Carolina Attorney General on May 20, 2026. While the exact number of affected individuals has not been publicly disclosed by the company, the incident involved the exposure of sensitive personal information. When personal information is compromised in a corporate data breach, it creates ongoing risks for consumers whose data was exposed. Unauthorized access to your personal information can lead to targeted phishing scams, identity theft, and fraudulent attempts to open new accounts or access your existing financial services. Because this data cannot be easily changed like a password, individuals impacted by the Vacation Myrtle Beach incident face a prolonged risk of having their personal details misused by bad actors. If you received an official notification letter from Vacation Myrtle Beach, you may have legal rights and could be eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit investigation. You can contact our firm to receive a completely free, no-obligation case review with zero upfront fees or out-of-pocket costs to understand your options.

Can I sue Vacation Myrtle Beach over the data breach?
