Executive Summary:

Bellweather Community Credit Union of Manchester, New Hampshire reported the loss of a disc containing private information on 3,000 of their members, including account and Social Security Numbers. Currently, there is no evidence of wrongdoing, and none of the information on the disc has been used. CU officials believe that the disc was likely misfiled or inadvertently thrown away. To prevent further losses, the discs, sent from an outside vendor, have been replaced by a secure data transmission.

Robbed:

  • Harvesters FCU, Pensacola, Florida, Friday. Two men, one armed with a silver handgun, entered the credit union and demanded money. The men fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. No one was injured.
  • Financial Center CU, Manteca, California, Saturday. In a rare Saturday robbery, a man entered the credit union, demanded cash from one teller, waited for the member in the next window to leave, and took money from that teller as well. The man fled on foot, and no one was injured.

Arrested, Arraigned, Charged, or Sentenced:

  • Nothing to report today.
