In March 2023, Mount Hood Meadows Oregon, LLC experienced a data breach where unauthorized actors gained access to its systems between March 9 and March 12, 2023. The incident exposed sensitive customer information for individuals who made purchases between February 21 and March 14, 2023. Compromised data includes first names, last names, mailing addresses, and credit card payment details, raising concerns over potential financial fraud and identity theft risks. The breach was publicly disclosed by the Vermont Office of the Attorney General on October 27, 2023, though the full scope of misuse such as whether the stolen data was sold or exploited remains unclear. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in payment processing systems and underscores the need for stronger cybersecurity measures to protect customer financial data from exploitation by cybercriminals.
