What Happened?
On or around May 20, 2025, POLAM Federal Credit Union was notified that a former employee illegally accessed and obtained specific documents from its system. A third-party cybersecurity investigation found that the breach may have exposed personal information.
What Information Was Exposed?
The POLAM data breach may have compromised a broad range of highly sensitive personal information, including:
- Full names and addresses
- Social Security numbers
- Credit and/or debit card numbers (without password or security code)
- Driver’s license numbers
- Financial account numbers (with or without password or routing number)
- IRS e-file personal identification numbers
- Loan numbers
- Passport numbers
- Medical history, condition, treatment, or diagnosis
- Individual taxpayer identification numbers (ITINs)

Because Social Security numbers, financial account details, and other sensitive identifiers are involved, affected individuals may face a heightened and long-term risk of identity theft, fraud, and account takeover.
