“• “The City of Portland has discovered a cybersecurity breach that led to a fraudulent financial transaction of approximately $1.4 million in late April, using City funds. This incident was identified after the City flagged another fraudulent financial transaction attempt from the same account on May 17.” • “In April, an unauthorized, outside entity gained access to a Portland Housing Bureau email account and fraudulently diverted a payment intended for Central City Concern for costs related to the construction of the Starlight, an affordable housing development formerly known as the Westwind. “ • “Although the project is partially funded by the City’s housing bond, no money from that funding source was used in the fraudulent transaction. The City is working quickly to ensure Central City Concern receives payment. Construction of the Starlight is expected to remain on schedule, with a projected opening this fall in Old Town.” “
