SECURITY WARNING
E-MAIL ‘PHISHING’ SCAM
Central Credit Union was recently the target of a phishing attack.
Phishing is the practice of sending an e-mail that appears to be from a financial institution with the goal of persuading online banking users to share sensitive information that can be used to commit fraud or identity theft.
The criminals that sent out this e-mail tried to persuade online banking users that the e-mail was genuine. We did NOT send this message.
