Retailers Strike Back at Credit Union Data Security
In a letter to NAFCU and CUNA signed by the Retail Industry Leaders Association, the National Association of Convenience Stores and other organizations accused credit unions of using misleading arguments with the media and before Congress. The groups argue that 34% of the data losses that have occurred this year have been at financial institutions, while only 11% affected retailers. In addition, the groups criticized credit unions for being slow in adopting chip and PIN technology. [11/3/14]
