First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union ("First Commonwealth") is a credit union located in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, which experienced a data security incident that may have involved personal information belonging to certain individuals who are either current, or former, members. First Commonwealth is sending notification of this incident via U.S. Mail to potentially impacted individuals and provided resources to assist them. However, First Commonwealth after a diligent search was not readily in possession of mailing addresses for all potentially impacted individuals, and accordingly, this notice is being provided for the benefit of those individuals that could not be contacted via U.S. Mail.

Since that time, First Commonwealth has worked diligently to identify current contact information needed to notify all potentially affected individuals.

However, on August 2, 2024, First Commonwealth provided notice of this incident to potentially impacted individuals whose address information could be verified.
