Connecticut school district lost more than $6 million in cyber attack, so far gotten about half back
New Britian Herald
NEW HAVEN — The city of New Haven lost more than $6 million in multiple cyberattacks on its public school district earlier this summer and has so far managed to recoup about half of the money, officials announced Thursday.
The thefts, which occurred in June and involved hackers impersonating the city's chief operating officer and private vendors in emails, came to light after a Connecticut school bus company raised questions about why it hadn't yet been paid.
"The individual or the individuals that did this are criminal. They are unbelievably unethical to not only steal money from the public, but steal money from New Haven public school children," said Mayor Justin Elicker, a Democrat, during a news conference.
