Phishing email costs US school district $1.8 million

“Earlier this week, Broken Bow Public Schools announced it fell victim to a phishing scam, which cost the institution $1.8 million, Nebraska media outlet ruralradio.com reported.“

“According to the school district’s press release, the incident involved “a fraudulent ACH transfer” that was related to a real ongoing construction project. Scammers apparently sent a fake invoice, which mimicked a “trusted vendor.”“

“After realizing what had happened, the school district contacted several US authorities, including the FBI, the Nebraska State Patrol, and the US Secret Service. The press release, publicized by ruralradio.com, indicates that law enforcement actions allowed the recovery of $700,000 of the stolen funds. “
