AOD Federal Credit Union Data Breach Lawsuit

AOD Federal Credit Union Data Breach Details

The breach was detected on or about August 9, 2024, when the credit union identified unauthorized access to their network. Upon learning of the breach, AODFCU took swift action to secure their environment and mitigate any further unauthorized access. The credit union also reported the incident to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and worked closely with external cybersecurity professionals experienced in handling such incidents.

After conducting an extensive forensic investigation and a manual document review, AODFCU confirmed on March 4, 2025, that an unauthorized actor may have accessed and acquired certain files containing personal information between August 8, 2024, and August 9, 2024.

As a precautionary measure, the credit union is offering affected individuals a complimentary one-month membership to Experian IdentityWorks Credit 3B. This service includes credit and identity monitoring to detect potential misuse of personal information. It also provides immediate support for the resolution of identity theft issues, helping members manage their information securely.

The IdentityWorks Credit 3B service is completely free of charge and enrolling in the program will not impact your credit score. Members are encouraged to review the instructions provided in the letter on how to activate their complimentary membership.

What Information Was Compromised?

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from AOD Federal Credit Union, your personal information may have been compromised. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin long before the notice arrives.

Steps to Take if You Were Affected by the AOD Federal Credit Union Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as AOD Federal Credit Union. Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls requesting personal information. When in doubt, verify communications directly with the company through official channels.

Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Regularly check your bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for unauthorized transactions. Set up account alerts to detect suspicious activity early. Take advantage of free credit reports and review them carefully for unfamiliar accounts or discrepancies.

Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added security, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name while still allowing you to use existing credit. You can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary if applying for credit.
