I was reading an article about the poor security on credit unions compared to larger banks

And I never realized the girl on my bowling team and my mom both use Credit Unions.
Dang.
Makes me glad I have a big bank.

I never knew there was a difference between credit unions and regular banks. i don't een have access to one of the big banks. unless our local banks operate under their authority. i use Grant county Bank, and my shit got hacked one Friday, for some dumb freemium game about unicorns or some shit like that., so i was broke all weekend until Monday. shit fucking sucked.

Your bank should give you your money back right away.

They can't until I fill out the dispute forms and I have to go to the main branch to do that (45 minutes from here)

I figured that filling out the forms step would be easy enough to do at lunch.
45 minutes? Credit unions sound fun

It'll take me 45 minutes to just drive there.

My sister has a bank and has been hit by hackers 4 times.

They all happened around the same time, a few of the hits came from somewhere in Canada. I think the bank didn't address the situation as good as they should have.
