Ransomware attack disrupts Atlanta Postal Credit Union banking and payment services

On March 23, 2023, Atlanta Postal Credit Union experienced a ransomware attack that disrupted its banking service infrastructure. The institution confirmed that the attack caused system disruptions requiring incident-response measures and restoration of affected systems, while its core banking system remained protected. Contemporary reporting documented unavailable online and mobile banking, unreliable payment-card functionality and telephone outages. Customers reported difficulty accessing deposits, making withdrawals and completing payments, with some problems continuing into early April. The attack therefore materially impaired the credit union's financial service delivery and customer transaction capabilities.
