Think Before You CLICK: Small actions. Big protection.

Every day, cybercriminals are finding new ways to trick people into sharing passwords, clicking fake links, or giving away personal information. Consider:

• Americans reported 859,532 internet crime complaints in 2024.
• Reported losses exceeded $16 billion, a 33% increase from the previous year.
• Adults over age 60 reported nearly $5 billion in losses, the highest of any age group.

Credit unions are uniquely positioned to help members recognize threats before they become victims. Through education, practical resources, and trusted guidance, credit unions can help members build safer digital habits and protect what matters most.

The Cybersecurity toolkit is designed to help turn awareness into action. It includes ready-to-use resources that make it easy to educate members, support frontline staff, and respond quickly when new threats emerge. Assets are editable, customizable, and designed to help any size credit union.

You’ll find the details and resources of the campaign on this website. Thank you to the Credit Union  League System for their collaboration on this important topic!
