Cyber Security and Harvest Breakfast with Servus

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser

On Friday, September 13, Mundare Servus Credit Union hosted over 100 guests from the community and school for a free breakfast to celebrate the harvest season, followed by a presentation on ways to avoid becoming the next fraud victim.

The main purpose of this breakfast and others that preceded it this year was to show appreciation to customers with a hot meal and a chance to socialize together. Branch Manager Shelly Taylor said that the event, held in a sectioned-off portion of the street outside the bank, was a huge success.

“We had guests from throughout the community, and the school children came by as well so we had a steady stream of guests all morning.”

One of Servus’ own cybersecurity providers gave the presentation, which focused on identity theft, email/phone fraud, and common dupes that have surfaced over the last couple of years.

“We’ve had a tough time in our area over the past while, and the best way we can really combat that is to make sure people are educated on how to avoid certain scams,” said Taylor. “We thought the breakfast would be a good opportunity to make sure our customer base has the information they need to keep their personal information safe.”
