Patelco CU - Data Breach through third-party software

[Jeffster1]

I just received yesterday an email from Patelco Credit Union informing me of a data breach through 

"As you’ve likely heard on the news, Progress Software announced a previously unknown vulnerability in its MOVEit Transfer application, which is a popular file transfer management application. This breach has impacted over 1,000 corporations worldwide and over 60 million people so far.

We’re writing to tell you that a vendor we used to help us deliver banking services, Sovos, was unfortunately impacted by this breach due to Sovos’ use of the MOVEit Transfer application. As a result, some of your personal information was involved. Please note that this incident is not the result of a data breach at Patelco Credit Union.

Sovos is a technology company that provides a variety of services, including tax preparation, escheatment (unclaimed property claims), regulatory compliance, and analysis. Patelco used Sovos for regulatory requirements for escheatment (unclaimed property) in addition to account analysis.

Soon, you will receive a letter from Sovos that will include additional details on what happened, their response, the information involved, and the free credit monitoring services available to you.

Sovos has established a dedicated call center to answer questions. If you have any questions regarding this incident or the services available to you, please call 866.373.7132 weekdays from 6am to 3:30pm PT, excluding major US holidays."

I received the letter from Sovos, and followed the directions to get the free 2-year credit monitoring.

i haven't had a Patelco account in over 6 years, and was sued by them just prior to  my 13 filing. The lawsuit was settled through the CH13.  I guess they keep  our data forever, even if they never want to see you again.

Posting this as an FYI.
