Shub & Johns LLC is currently investigating First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union (“First Commonwealth”) for an apparent failure to safeguard sensitive consumer information in a data breach that was detected on or around July 1, 2024. First Commonwealth, a Pennsylvania-based financial cooperative providing financial services and products, discovered that an unauthorized actor gained access to client data within First Commonwealth’s systems. Through further investigation, it was determined that the breach took place on or around June 26, 2024.

First Commonwealth began notifying impacted individuals on August 2, 2024. First Commonwealth has indicated that approximately 98,000 individuals have been impacted by the breach. Consumer information exposed in the breach may vary but can include names, social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and account numbers.  

The cybercriminals responsible for the breach may have already obtained and sold the compromised consumer information. In previous data breaches, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, medical and/or government services ordered in their name, or their information being posted on the dark web.
