Fraud & Security

September 21 (east) & September 22 (west)

 

Fighting Identity Theft
Each year, more than 10 million Americans have their personal information stolen. Such theft can have a far reaching and disastrous impact, and those who fall prey often face an uphill battle to restore their good name.

Exploitation of Elderly
Criminals find easy prey in trusting senior citizens. Help your members by familiarizing yourself with and learning how to recognize, and avoid, the specific scams targeted towards the elderly.

During this morning session, you'll hear about the latest tricks criminals are using to commit identity theft scams across Pennsylvania and learn how to protect your members and your credit union.

 

Among the items to be discussed:

  • Charity solicitations
  • Sweepstakes letters
  • Home improvement fraud
  • Online sales and auctions
  • Account verification scams

Speaker: Dave Shallcross, PA Office of Attorney General

Dave Shallcross is a Community Liaison with the Public Protection Division for Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett. Dave conducts seminars about various types of identity theft, fraud, scams and other ploys used by con artists who often target the citizens of the Commonwealth.

Complying with NCUA Regulations on Information Security & Risk Assessment
The security of member information is an ongoing process that must be maintained and adjusted. Credit unions must establish a security program to protect customer records and information from both internal and external thefts. The safeguards are intended to:

  • Insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information;
  • Protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records; and
  • Protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that would result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.

As new threats evolve in this increasingly technical world, credit unions must continue to identify and evaluate risks to its information, develop a plan to mitigate the risks, implement the plan, test the plan, and monitor the need to update the plan.  

NCUA Examiners will guide you through a discussion on Regulation 748, Appendices A and B.  They will give you guidelines on how to conduct a risk assessment to ensure your credit union is following best practices to prevent threats or hazards to the security of your credit union and your members.

Speakers:   NCUA Examiners Dan Popp (East) and Lynsey Johnson (West). Both Dan and Lynsey specialize in review of information technology and security of these systems.
