A ransomware infection at a cloud IT provider has disrupted services for 60 or so credit unions across the US, all of which were relying on the attacked vendor. <\/p>\n

This is according to the National Credit Union Administration, which on Friday told The Register<\/em> it is fire-fighting the situation with the credit unions downed this week by the intrusion. The NCUA regulates and insures these financial orgs.<\/p>\n

“I can confirm that approximately 60 credit unions are currently experiencing some level of outage due to a ransomware attack at a third-party service provider,” the NCUA spokesperson said. “Member deposits at affected federally insured credit unions are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund up to $250,000.”<\/p>\n
