Marion– February 26, 2025 –60K Via Credit Union customers hacked! Financial data, SSNs exposed. Victims at risk of fraud. Is your bank account still safe?
In a major banking security breach, Via Credit Union (ViaCU) has exposed sensitive financial data of over 60,000 customers, putting them at risk of identity theft and fraud. The breach, detected between January 18 and January 20, allowed hackers to steal Social Security numbers, financial account details, addresses, and birth dates.
The Indiana-based credit union confirmed the attack in a filing with the Maine Attorney General, sending shockwaves through the financial industry. Experts warn that victims could face financial ruin if the stolen data is misused. Jake Collins, a cybersecurity analyst said:
This is a nightmare for thousands of innocent customers. Hackers now have access to banking details that could be sold on the dark web or used for massive fraud.
ViaCU detected suspicious activity in its IT network and immediately called in law enforcement and cybersecurity experts. However, by the time action was taken, critical customer data had already been compromised.
A devastated customer, Lisa Morgan from Indiana, voiced her frustration:
I trusted my bank to protect my money, but now I feel completely exposed. Who’s going to fix this mess?
Customers in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio are now scrambling to secure their accounts, with experts urging them to freeze credit reports, monitor transactions, and enable fraud alerts.
