A portable flash drive holding sensitive customer data from Palm Springs Federal Credit Union was lost after it was handed over to an NCUA federal banking regulator as part of a recent examination. Eric Richard issued a comment that CUNA is "deeply concerned about this event. NCUA examiners are charged with promoting the safety and soundness of credit unions, not putting it at risk. NCUA should conduct a thorough review of the situation to see what steps it can take to make sure that nothing like this happens again. Trust in the agency is at stake."
