The Texas Attorney General reports 187,038 affected people nationwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fairmont Federal Credit Union is a West Virginia-based credit union. The impact is limited to people whose personal information appeared in the reviewed files, and not every data field was present for every person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>When did the Fairmont Federal Credit Union data breach occur?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The unauthorized access occurred between September 30 and October 18, 2023. The organization became aware of the incident on January 23, 2024 and, after its review, determined on or about August 17, 2025 that the affected files could contain personal information.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Notices began going to affected people on September 11, 2025. These dates distinguish the incident period from the later investigation and notification process.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How did the incident happen?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>According to the organization's official notice, an unauthorized party accessed and acquired certain files on the network. The method used to enter the system and the technical access path were not disclosed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Official sources do not confirm a named threat actor, a type of malware, or the use of ransomware. The incident is therefore classified narrowly as unauthorized network and file access based on the verified details.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What information was affected?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Depending on the person, the files could contain names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, passport details, driver's license numbers, and other government identification numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Possible fields also included financial account and routing numbers, bank details, payment card numbers, security codes or PINs, as well as medical, prescription, medical record, and health insurance information. The official notice also says some files could contain access credentials, security questions and answers, and digital signatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How many people were affected?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The Texas Attorney General reports 187,038 affected people nationwide, including 1,206 Texas residents. The Texas figure is included in the nationwide total and is not an additional count.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What risks can this incident create?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Identity and financial information can support identity theft, fraudulent account opening, tax fraud, or unauthorized payment attempts. Health and insurance data can also make phishing messages more convincing or create a risk of healthcare fraud.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The organization said it was not aware, as of the notice date, that the incident had resulted in identity theft or financial fraud. The level of risk nevertheless depends on the specific data fields identified in each person's notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>How did Fairmont Federal Credit Union respond?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The credit union said it secured its system, investigated with outside cybersecurity specialists, and manually reviewed the files. It offered complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection to people whose Social Security numbers were affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>What should affected people do?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>Notice recipients should review bank and card activity, credit reports, and health insurance statements regularly. If an unfamiliar transaction, account, or service appears, contact the relevant institution through an official channel promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A free security freeze or fraud alert on a credit file can reduce identity-theft risk. If a personal notice says access credentials were affected, set unique passwords on accounts where the same credentials were used and enable multi-factor authentication.\u003C\u002Fp>","","Fairmont FCU Data Breach (187 Thousand People Affected)","The Fairmont Federal Credit Union data breach affected 187,038 people.
