The 203,000-member, $4.7 billion Bethpage Federal Credit Union, headquartered in Bethpage, N.Y., notified members and the NCUA of the accidental exposure of personal member data last week.
In a June 13 press release and statement to its members, Bethpage said that data from up to 86,000 members had been placed on an insecure website accidentally while the credit union was moving the members from Visa debit cards to MasterCard debit cards.
"The risk for fraud or identity theft is low, according to a data security firm engaged by Bethpage," the credit union said in its statement. "Certain key data such as Social Security numbers, PINS and CVV security codes were not in these files. Bethpage's core data system was not breached and was not involved."
