Two credit unions in Wisconsin have been swept into a growing skimming epidemic that some local police say is unprecedented.
On Tuesday, Educators Credit Union disclosed that thieves had embedded skimmers at five of its ATMs in Racine, Milwaukee and Kenosha, Wisc. The skimmers were only in place for several hours on Sept. 6 and Sept. 12, according to the credit union.

Educators CU, headquartered in Mount Pleasant, Wisc., has $1.6 billion in assets and 133,000 members.
