WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. — Insight Credit Union has disclosed a data breach involving sensitive personal and financial information, with 656 Texas residents identified as affected in a report filed Nov. 6 with the Texas attorney general, according to ClaimsDepot. The Florida-based CU did not disclose how many members outside of Texas are affected.
The $614.5-million credit union reported that exposed information included names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government-issued identification numbers and financial information, including account or payment card numbers, ClaimsDepot reported.
The disclosure followed a Sept. 15 posting on the dark web by a ransomware group known as Storm, which claimed to have breached Insight Credit Union and obtained 209 gigabytes of data. The group threatened to publish the information within 17 days, according to ClaimsDepot. The group’s claims have not been independently verified.
The reported figure of 656 covers Texas residents identified in the state filing and does not establish the total number of people affected by the incident.
ClaimsDepot advised people receiving notification letters from Insight to review them for details about the incident and recommended protective measures.
