Social Security and bank account numbers are some of the information hackers may have taken in a breach at Hawaii First Federal Credit Union in Kamuela, according to a letter the credit union sent to current and former employees and members.
The hack may have taken place via unauthorized access to an employee's email account, the letter said.
The credit union discovered the unauthorized access on June 1, according to the letter, which President/CEO Laura Aguirre said went out on Aug. 31. It immediately terminated access to the email account, reset all passwords and started an investigation to learn what information was taken.
