Security and NPCCU Security and NPCCU
Debit and Credit Card Security (4/22/09)During this economic downturn, it is highly probable that fraud will increase as situations become desperate. True to this forecast, NPCCU members have experienced credit card and debit card fraud recently. To protect yourself from becoming a victim of debit/credit card fraud, please keep the following safety measures in mind: Heartland Processing Security Breach (1/20/09) Like thousands of other financial institutions, NorthPark Community Credit Union (NPCCU) has been made aware of what appears to have been a potential data compromise within one of the country's largest payment processing systems, Heartland Payment Systems. Heartland is not connected to or is a vendor of NPCCU. Heartland is a company that processes card payments for department stores, merchants, restaurants, and other retailers. Data on consumer debit and credit cards may have been involved with the compromise. Heartland issued a news release on January 20, 2009 stating that it had "learned it was the victim of a security breach within its processing sytem in 2008" saying malicious software was discovered in its' processing system software. Vishing SCAM (8/6/08) Credit Union Card Center (CUCC) has received several notifications from client credit unions that members are being called at home and on their cell phones stating their card has been suspended. This is NOT from CUCC or First Data. These members are victims of a vishing scam. The member is told their card has been suspended and directed to call a (800) number to “reactivate” their account. Once the member calls, they are prompted to provide personal information including: Name For more information on vishing, please visit the FBI Website at http://www.fbi.gov/page2/feb07/vishing022307.htm.

It identifies you as the true "owner" of your accounts by recognizing not only your password but your computer as well.

With Enhanced Login Security, you'll be protected from whatever computer you're using, whether you're at home or on the go.
