Tens of thousands of Americans face a heightened risk of identity theft and fraud after hackers struck a credit union.

In a fresh filing with the Maine Attorney General, Carter Credit Union says 68,934 were affected by a cybersecurity incident.

In a statement, the firm says that an unauthorized entity gained access to its systems and siphoned files that may include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license/state identification numbers, passport numbers, credit/debit card numbers, financial account numbers, financial account histories, retirement/401(k) benefits records, limited medical treatment/diagnosis records and health insurance records.

“On July 2, 2025, Carter learned that an unauthorized third party gained temporary access to Carter’s network. Upon learning of the situation, we immediately took steps to contain and remediate the incident and launched an internal investigation. We also reported the incident to law enforcement and engaged a leading forensic security firm to assist in our investigation and confirm the security of our computer systems and network. The forensic investigation recently concluded and determined that the unauthorized third party accessed certain files on our network between June 25, 2025, and July 2, 2025.”

Carter Credit Union, founded in 1954, manages over $770 million in assets and serves members across Louisiana and Texas.

The credit union says it abruptly sent letters of notification to impacted individuals while offering complimentary identity theft protection services for those whose Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and/or passport numbers were compromised.

While Carter says it has not received reports of fraud or identity theft related to the data breach, it urges its customers to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity in their account statements.
