Six class action lawsuits were filed over two weeks by members of the $1.3 billion Ventura County Credit Union (VCCU) in Ventura, Calif., for a data breach that affected nearly 82,000 people. In addition, members of the $2.3 billion HawaiiUSA Federal Credit Union in Honolulu filed a federal lawsuit over its data breach that impacted more than 20,000 persons.
