While the exact details of what happened are still being investigated, a security incident like this means unauthorized individuals might have gained access to sensitive data stored by the credit union. For you, this means a potential increased risk to your personal security.

Beyond that, make sure to regularly check your financial accounts and credit reports for anything unusual. Even if you don't see anything wrong today, continue to monitor these accounts for the next year or two. This is a crucial step in catching any potential misuse of your information early.
