If someone at your credit union clicked a bad link at 4:45 on a Friday, what would happen in the next ten minutes?

In today’s CUInsight.com article, Chris Murphy explains why smaller credit unions should plan for the click, not just try to prevent it.

A few of you asked a fair question after we shared Dave's review: don't Fastek and Computer Dave PC Repair do the same thing?

Not really.

Dave fixes the computer you use at home. We look after the network your business runs on. He serves homes and individuals. We serve businesses.

When Dave's shop hit a business-grade networking problem, he called us. When someone calls us about a laptop at home, we know who to call.

That's not competition. That's two local shops that know what they're good at.

Home tech? Call Dave, he’s the best in the business. Business IT? Call Fastek.

When the guy everybody calls for computer help calls you, that's a good day. Thanks, Computer Dave PC Repair, for the kind words and for trusting us with your network. Local businesses looking out for each other — that’s Owensboro.

Fraud targeting credit union members is getting harder to recognize — and easier to execute.

AI tools are lowering the barrier for attackers. What once required technical skill can now be done at scale with minimal effort. Fake identities assembled from real and stolen data. Emails that convincingly impersonate a trusted vendor. Members manipulated into authorizing transactions they believe are legitimate.

The threat is no longer a sophisticated hacker targeting your systems. It is a convincing message arriving at the right moment to the wrong person.

For smaller credit unions, this creates a specific challenge. The people most likely to encounter these attempts — tellers, member services staff, loan officers — are also the ones who need the clearest guidance on what to look for and what to do.

Technology helps. But awareness is the first line of defense.

That is why Education is a core pillar of our CORE framework — because no security tool catches everything, and informed people catch what technology misses.

America's Credit Unions recently outlined five emerging fraud threats credit unions need to address this year. It is worth a read for any leader responsible for member protection or compliance:

Fraudsters are wielding increasingly sophisticated AI-powered tools to target victims. Here's what your credit union needs to know to stay ahead of these evolving threats.

Today's lead article at CUInsight.com and their daily newsletter comes from our founder, Chris Murphy.

The piece addresses something we hear constantly from credit union leaders: the cybersecurity conversation at the industry level often does not match the reality on the ground for smaller institutions.

A $900 million credit union and a $40 million credit union share the same compliance obligations. They do not share the same resources, staffing, or threat profile. Treating them the same does not serve either one well.

Your employees are using AI right now. The question is whether they're doing it on your network — or on a personal device because they were told not to use it.

Travelers released data this week showing both scenarios are creating real cyber exposure. Ban it, and people go rogue. Allow it without structure, and tools start doing things nobody intended.

Ransomware is up 80% since 2022. The newest attack surface isn't a software vulnerability. It's ungoverned AI.

A written policy. One person accountable. Mandatory training. That's the floor. It doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to exist.

We help small businesses navigate issues like this and many others. Let's chat.

Ungoverned AI adoption is also creating new risks for organizations.

Last week, Fastek founder and CEO Chris Murphy addressed attendees at the America's Credit Unions Cybersecurity Conference in Austin.

The conversation centered on what smaller credit unions need most when it comes to cybersecurity — not more complexity, but a clearer, more structured way to manage risk, demonstrate oversight, and build confidence at the leadership level.

That is the problem our CORE framework — Compliance, Oversight, Resilience, and Education — was built to solve.

We're grateful for the opportunity to be part of the conversation with credit union leaders from all over the country last week in Texas.

We’re wrapping up a few great days in Austin at the America's Credit Unions Cybersecurity Conference.

The conversations this week have centered on something worth sitting with: evolving technology is creating real opportunities for credit unions — better member experiences, smarter operations, more efficient processes — and real threats, often through those same channels.

If you are here this morning, we would enjoy the chance to connect before everyone heads home.
