NIH Federal Credit Union is the most recent problem with identity theft – except this time, nothing was stolen, nothing was broken into. The CU isn’t acknowledging that it’s an inside job, but really, what else could it be?

I have a friend who went to GWU and so has an account there. He hadn’t heard anything about it when I called him last night to tell him. Now, according to the press report, only those who are already victims of identity theft will get a credit report and year of monitoring service. I find that amusing as when laptops were stolen/lost and people may or may not have been affected, these groups were offering monitoring service. Now, we have a case where they know people have been affected and they’re not offering the monitoring service.

My friend is calling them up soon to talk to them about it, I’ll let you know what comes of it.
