What happened
On June 16, 2025, Vacation Myrtle Beach, a resort and accommodations brand based at 1144 Shine Avenue, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, detected suspicious activity within its network. The company states it immediately secured its internal systems and engaged independent forensic specialists to investigate. The investigation determined that an unauthorized third party accessed or exfiltrated certain files containing personal information.
Vacation Myrtle Beach completed its review of the affected data on February 12, 2026, finished preparing notifications on March 4, 2026, and began mailing notice letters on or around May 15, 2026, roughly eleven months after the incident was first detected. The company's notice indicates the information involved may include the recipient's name, and states it has no current evidence of misuse. The company is offering 12 months of complimentary single-bureau credit monitoring and identity-theft protection through TransUnion.
Whether the company's pre-breach security practices met legal standards, whether additional categories of data were exposed beyond what has been publicly itemized, and whether the lengthy notification delay caused additional harm are among the issues being evaluated.

Am I eligible to join a class action against Vacation Myrtle Beach? +

How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly. Settlements typically range from a few hundred dollars for basic out-of-pocket losses to several thousand dollars for documented identity theft, with class size, damages, and negotiation all affecting the final amount. No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
The company's public notice indicates that customer names were among the data accessed. Because Vacation Myrtle Beach is a resort and accommodations brand that handles booking and payment information, additional categories of data may have been involved. Your individual notice letter should specify the categories of your data that were affected.
Did Vacation Myrtle Beach offer free credit monitoring? +
Yes. The company is providing 12 months of complimentary single-bureau credit monitoring and identity-theft protection through TransUnion. Enroll within 90 days of receiving your letter. Enrollment is separate from, and does not waive, your right to pursue a claim.
