Cybercriminals have scammed a Texas school district out of $2.3 million by using a phony email.
The Manor Independent School District lost the hefty sum as a result of a phishing email scam, the school district said in a statement last week. Details on how the scam was perpetrated are not clear at this time.
Phishing email typically tries to get the victim to click on a malicious link in order to execute an attack, but that may not even be necessary. Attackscan also happen through a plain text email intended to fool the recipient to commit a wire transfer or send sensitive information.
There are all sorts of scam. They all after your money.
As we approach the next presidential election, watch for your wallet. Just a thought
