Thieves trick Puerto Rico government into making $2.6 million worth of payments to the wrong recipient in an elaborate phishing scheme. Authorities have released very little information about the incident, just that an email received on January 17 prompted an employee to change the banking account for remittance payments. Last month, a similar incident was reported in the town of Erie, Colorado, which was defrauded of $1.1 million. In BEC events, bad actors impersonate someone in the company who was previously targeted, to persuade the financial department to make a payment.”]
