What Happened in the KYB and Vitruvian Health Data Breaches?

On or around February 18, 2025, KYB identified that certain systems were inaccessible due to a cybersecurity breach. An internal investigation confirmed that between February 11 and February 17, unauthorized parties had access to sensitive files.

On July 11, 2024, a third-party vendor for Vitruvian Health, Nationwide Recovery Service, reported a data breach affecting its systems. The attack, which took place between July 5 and July 11, 2024, exposed data belonging to Vitruvian patients.

What Type of Data was Exposed?

In the KYB Data Breach:

• Full names
• Social Security numbers
• Driver’s license numbers
• Account, credit, or debit card numbers
• Security codes or passwords associated with financial accounts

In the Vitruvian Health Breach:

• Full names
• Social Security numbers
• Dates of birth
• Residential addresses
• Financial account details
• Medical records and treatment information

What are the Risks of These Breaches?

1. Identity Theft 

The exposure of Social Security numbers and government-issued ID details can be used by bad actors to open fraudulent accounts, apply for loans, or commit tax fraud.

2. Medical Identity Theft

Stolen health data from Vitruvian Health can be misused to receive unauthorized medical services or fill prescriptions fraudulently.

3. Financial Fraud

Exposed account and card numbers, especially from KYB’s breach, can lead to direct financial losses through unauthorized transactions.

4. Credential Stuffing & Phishing

The presence of personal data increases the risk of social engineering attacks, phishing campaigns, and targeted scams.
