I hope everyone is well this holiday season. Unfortunately, cyber criminals continue to remain busy throughout this time of year. Below is recent example of a payment redirection scam perpetrated on an Ohio city. Full article at the link below. Attached is a recent Ebroadcast with links to cyber loss control resources. We wish you all the best for the remainder of this holiday season and a Happy and Safe New Year. Stay safe. The electronic payment was routed to a bank account in Louisville, Kentucky, through a fraudulent email where "construction" in the domain name had a slight misspelling, with the second "c" and "u" swapped, and the username matched that of an employee whose name can be found on the firm's LinkedIn page. Using this email, the City authorized a $721,976.26 payment.
