In April 2024, OUR Community Credit Union (OURCU) discovered a data breach involving sensitive personal identifiable information. An unauthorized actor accessed this data through an employee’s email account around April 3, 2024. The breach prompted OURCU to notify individuals whose information might have been affected, although the specific details of the exposed data were not disclosed.
The compromised information potentially includes names, Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and credit union account numbers. OURCU is actively working to address the incident and mitigate any risks associated with the breach. The credit union’s investigation aims to understand the full scope of the exposure and prevent future occurrences.
Founded in 1941, OURCU, headquartered in Shelton, Washington, initially served employees of Simpson Logging Company. Since expanding in 2010, the credit union has offered services to all Washington residents, providing financial solutions such as checking and savings accounts, loans, and digital banking. With around $585 million in assets and a membership of over 34,000, OURCU operates eight branches in several counties.
OURCU’s response includes notifying affected individuals and enhancing security measures to protect against future breaches. The credit union is committed to safeguarding personal information and ensuring that such incidents do not compromise their members’ security.
