MIV Buyer, LLC experienced a data breach stemming from an incident at its vendor, Suede (formerly Merchant Industry LLC), which provides merchant payment solutions. Suede discovered suspicious activity on one of its systems on June 3, 2026, and an investigation confirmed unauthorized third-party access on that date, potentially leading to files being copied. A detailed review to identify affected individuals was completed by July 27, 2026, when Suede began notifying those impacted. The incident was limited to Suede’s systems.
The breach involved the exposure of names and Social Security numbers. No information regarding financial data, such as account numbers or payment card data, or medical data was indicated in the official notice. The exact number of affected individuals has not been publicly disclosed. Filings with the Massachusetts Attorney General and references to Vermont AG involvement confirm state-level regulatory notification.
Details can continue to emerge as investigations progress. Notifications to affected individuals may also continue over time as more information becomes available.
