Several credit unions in Northeast Ohio, including the Cleveland-based, $311 million Century Federal Credit Union, were affected by a debit card fraud breach that began in April, according to reports from the suburban North Olmsted Police Department.
Police reports indicate that criminals made fraudulent purchases from six Century FCU accounts, as well as from two accounts at the Cleveland-based, $180 million Firefighters Community Credit Union, two accounts at the Parma, Ohio-based $100 million PSE Credit Union, one account at the Cleveland-based, $36 million Steel Valley Federal Credit Union and one account at the Akron, Ohio-based, $180 million GenFed Credit Union.
Century President/CEO Tony Coniglio told Credit Union Times that more than just six of his members were affected – the CU has received reports of fraud from about 200 of its 26,000 members to date.
