WHAT HAPPENED?
Recently, Shore reported to the Attorney General of Vermont that the sensitive personal identifiable information in its care may have been compromised. According to the breach notice, on July 11, 2024, Shore’s third-party vendor, Nationwide Recovery Service (“NRS”), discovered suspicious activity related to certain computer systems which resulted in a network outage.1 As a result, NRS launched an investigation to determine the nature of the incident.
Through its investigation, NRS confirmed that sensitive personal information in its systems belonging to Shore patients may have been viewed and obtained by an unauthorized third party between July 5 and July 11, 2024. As a result, Shore began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected. While the information impacted varies depending on the individual, the type of information potentially exposed includes:
- Name
- Social Security number
On May 23, 2025, Shore began mailing data breach notification letters to impacted individuals. Based on the breach notice sent to Vermont residents, Shore is providing affected individuals with a list of the specific types of sensitive information impacted and complimentary credit monitoring services. A link to the form breach notification letters that Shore filed with the Attorney General of Vermont is below.
