Equifax Data Breach

As you may know, millions of Americans had their personal information exposed by the recent Equifax^® data breach. Equifax states they found no evidence of unauthorized activity on its core consumer credit reporting database, other information was lost. According to Equifax, the breach lasted from mid-May through July. The hackers accessed people’s names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, driver's license numbers. This is the sensitive information fraudsters need to commit identity theft.

Check with Equifax to find out if you've been impacted

Be assured that the Equifax breach does not affect Community Powered’s security systems in any way, and that we continue to monitor member accounts 24/7.

Whether or not you were impacted, here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to actively protecting yourself in situations like this.

• Change usernames and passwords


• Check your credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for free by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com. Accounts or activity that you don’t recognize could indicate identity theft.


• Consider placing a credit freeze on your files. A credit freeze makes it harder for someone to open a new account in your name. Keep in mind that a credit freeze won’t prevent a thief from making charges to your existing accounts.


• Monitor your existing credit card and bank accounts closely for charges you don’t recognize.

It’s important to keep in mind that any information put at risk by the Equifax breach is separate from your data at Community Powered, but we want to help you protect both.

We remain ever-vigilant in securing your credit union data and you can help by actively monitoring the activity on your accounts. If you observe suspicious activity, report it to us immediately.

Visit Identitytheft.gov/databreach to learn more about protecting yourself after a data breach.
