That's because Priority One<http://www.priorityonecu.org/>Credit Union -- the one I use -- had a security breach that was stunning. They recently sent election ballots to members. Printed on the outside of the envelope were some numbers. The first was our account number. That might not have been enough to help with anyone intent on identity theft, so they also printed my social security number on the envelope. I received a letter of apology <http://www.priorityonecu.org/whatsnew.shtml>the other day. They told me they deeply regretted the inconvenience. (See Important Security Message to Members.) --------------------------------------------- Posted on the CU Web site by Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. CEO/President http://www.priorityonecu.org/whatsnew.shtml During the last week, we mailed our election ballots to members. Unfortunately, an error occurred during the distribution of this ballot, and personal information was inadvertently included above your address on the envelope. This information was not printed in a format that would be immediately recognizable, and we have no indication your personal information has been accessed or misused in any way.
