HARRISBURG, Penn.–The Pennsylvania Credit Union Association has become the latest to say it will join in the class action lawsuit filed by CUNA against Equifax following the massive data breach that involves more than 145 million Americans’ records.
“The PCUA board of directors’ decision to join the lawsuit came after management conducted a thorough due diligence that determined credit unions and other financial institutions will likely bear long-term costs as a result of the breach,” the PCUA said in a statement.
“We believe it is our responsibility to protect credit unions and their members that have recognized financial losses as a result of the Equifax data breach,” PCUA President and CEO Patrick Conway said. “Representing credit unions in this manner will ensure they have a voice as Equifax is held accountable for current damages, future losses, and data security risks.”
