Kauai credit union hit by phishing scam

Advertiser Staff

The Kauai Community Federal Credit Union said it is working to counteract a bogus e-mail targeting its members that began circulating today.

The so-called phishing e-mail attempts to trick people into giving their account information by notifying them their account has been temporarily suspended. The e-mail says people need to reactivate their accounts by calling a number in Oregon.

The credit union said anyone receiving a suspicious e-mail purporting to be from it should forward it to abuse@kcfcu.org.
