Credit Union Information Security News: A Tampa, Fla.-based credit union has notified 56,000 of its members that its Visa check cards were exposed to fraud as a result of the Heartland Payment Systems data breach announced in January. Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union discovered only at the end of May that some of its customers could be in danger from the payments processor breach, in which customer account data from millions of credit and debit card transactions was exposed. The credit union is issuing new cards to all members whose accounts were compromised. Fewer than 1,000 members were actually affected by fraud as of last week, the credit union's senior vice president of member service operations says. Suncoast Schools FCU, with 450,000 members, has 50 locations in central Florida and reported nearly $5.9 billion in assets in 2008.
