Chamber of Commerce loses $163K to phishing
The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce lost $163K in an email phishing scheme. The chamber got an e-mail from someone claiming to be with Fifth Third Bank. The message even had Fifth Third’s logo, copyright and a Web link. But looks can be deceiving. The chamber unknowingly released key information to a phishing crook who scored a $163,000 catch. Although the chamber has recovered about $65,000 so far, the agency is changing procedure and has called in the FBI in to investigate.
