Quirion expresses frustration at what the credit union’s members and employees are being subjected to because of this breach. “The cost of replacing the cards is around $2,500, and we are a tiny credit union, and our employees ‘wear many hats,’ We’ve all been involved in blocking compromised cards, ordering new cards, and calling members regarding the breach since January 12,” she says.

Quirion estimated that the employees at the credit union have spent about 300 hours to date working on containing the breach’s fallout among its members.
