About ViewSonic Corporation
ViewSonic Corporation is a privately held American multinational electronics company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Brea, California. The company is a global provider of visual display hardware—including LCD monitors, projectors, and interactive whiteboards—as well as digital whiteboarding software and EdTech solutions, serving education, enterprise, and entertainment markets in over 100 countries. The breach involved payment card data, which suggests the incident may have affected ViewSonic’s e-commerce or direct sales operations rather than its enterprise or product systems.
