KDSK reports:
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is warning customers of a local credit union to monitor their accounts following an accidental release of personal information earlier this summer.
Koster’s office became aware of the glitch at Missouri Credit Union when a member contacted them. Officials at the credit union told Koster that customer information was only available for a short time and that the company corrected the problem shortly after it was identified.
As required by law, Missouri Credit Union contacted its 39,000 members and former members whose personal information was available online.

On August 5, a file containing member information was inadvertently made available through Missouri Credit Union’s website.
The file contained a list of members’ names, addresses, Social Security numbers, account numbers, and MCU teller/call-in passwords. According to MCU, the file was immediately removed and only ten visits were made to the file’s location during the time it was accessible.
