Dear Dirigo Member, UPDATED 12/5/22 Beginning of last week (week of November 28th, 2022), Dirigo Federal Credit Union and its members experienced a brute force BIN Attack, or Bank Identification Number Attack, on our institution’s debit cards. A BIN Attack targets debit card numbers only, not account numbers, nor targets personal identification information. How does this occur? When fraudsters use sophisticated software to search for a BIN randomly (the first six numbers of a debit card) and execute unlimited guesses until a transaction is processed. This attack is not a breach, hack, or compromise of our IT infrastructure or security systems. Dirigo invests heavily in our IT infrastructure and security, and we take innumerable actions on any given day to protect your accounts against security risks. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while our employees review all impacted accounts. Please call us at 1-800-281-5435 to report any unauthorized transactions on your account. POSTED 11/30/22 We are writing to inform you that Dirigo FCU has been targeted by an outside force, and several of our members have experienced unauthorized debit card transactions on their accounts. Our security team is working diligently to investigate and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Your security is of paramount importance to us as your trusted financial institution. Know that we are taking every possible precaution at this time and are acting swiftly. Please review your account history – now and regularly – for suspicious activity and report any and all discrepancies or unauthorized charges to your credit union. Know that all members who have fallen victim to this criminal act will be reimbursed in full for any fraudulent charges incurred. Your financial wellness is our highest priority, and your savings here are secure and safe. As an additional layer of security, you can temporarily disable your Dirigo debit card from anywhere, at any time, using our convenient CardValet service. More information on how to do so can be found here. We fully understand the inconvenience this incident may have caused, and sincerely thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this matter effectively and thoroughly. If you have any additional questions or concerns about your account, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at Dirigo FCU’s member service line at 1-800-281-5435.
