In January 2025, Via Credit Union experienced an external system breach that resulted in unauthorized access to personal data belonging to over 60,000 individuals. The compromised information included names combined with other personal identifiers, affecting at least four residents of Maine. The breach was detected shortly after the intrusion occurred, allowing the credit union to initiate a rapid response. Affected members received written notification of the incident and were offered twelve months of identity theft protection services through Experian IdentityWorks Credit 3B. This incident highlights the scale of the organization’s membership base and its commitment to providing remediation services following a security event.
