Making MAFCU's Website More Secure

Keeping your identity safe is vital when managing finances, or shopping online. MAFCU has contracted with Cyveillance, a company that offers the latest technology to combat Internet scams called phishing. Cyveillance Anti-Phishing™ helps MAFCU quickly identify, shut down and recover from online scams that mislead members through fraudulent use of its corporate identity.

Look for the Cyveillance Seal on MAFCU's homepage. The Cyveillance Protected Seal™ is a trust mark displayed on the websites of organizations that use Cyveillance Anti-Phishing. If you receive a suspicious email or phone text message, please send us an email at keepyouridentitysafe@mafcucreditunion.org

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), identity theft affects more than 10 million people each year. Even the savviest customers of well-known brands can be deceived into sharing valuable personal information. 

Here are some helpful hints:

  • Never click on a link from email, even if it appears valid. Call the company or go to the company's actual website by typing in the address yourself.
  • Install and update anti-virus software and a firewall to help block unknown communications.
  • Review your financial and credit card statements and check for suspicious charges.
  • Keep yourself informed. Go to www.ncua.gov for information from NCUA. The FTC has information on ID Theft and scams atwww.ftc.gov/idtheft.
