A Florida credit union is warning members that a third-party vendor breach may have exposed their Social Security numbers and financial account details.<\/p>\n

Fairwinds Credit Union says<\/a> the cybersecurity incident was limited to systems at external vendor Mercadien and did not involve a compromise of its own networks.<\/p>\n

A Massachusetts Attorney General filing shows<\/a> 271 people in that state are impacted.<\/p>\n

Mercadien identified unauthorized access between September 7th of 2025 and November 7th of 2025 and notified Fairwinds on August 13th of 2026.<\/p>\n

Fairwinds finished an internal review on September 4th of 2026 then prepared member notices.<\/p>\n

Data that may have been involved includes Social Security numbers, financial account information and driver\u2019s license numbers.<\/p>\n

The credit union hired Mercadien, an accounting firm, for an independent quality-control and regulatory review.<\/p>\n

It has ended that relationship and says it is not aware of any resulting fraud or identity theft.<\/p>\n

As a precaution Fairwinds is offering 24 months of complimentary Experian IdentityWorks credit monitoring, identity restoration and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.<\/p>\n

Fairwinds Credit Union is headquartered in Orlando, Florida.<\/a><\/p>\n
