Suede, formerly known as MIV Buyer, LLC, reported a hacking/IT incident involving information stored on its network, which was disclosed by Strauss Borrelli PLLC on September 15, 2026. The company identified suspicious activity on June 3, 2026, and completed its internal review by July 27, 2026.

The incident potentially involved names and Social Security numbers of Suede clients. The exact number of affected individuals has not been publicly stated. No medical or financial data exposure has been indicated.

Suede has stated it is not aware of any fraud or identity theft related to the incident. A Massachusetts regulatory filing contains the text of the consumer notice. While a class action lawsuit reference exists, its status is from a lawsuit-tracker page rather than a court docket, and no multidistrict litigation has been identified.
