1.7 Million Reasons to Conduct Rigorous Cyber Awareness Training

You Don't Want to Craft This Press Release: In December 2023, the West Clermont Local School District learned it was the victim of a sophisticated cyber-attack, classified as social engineering, that is anticipated to result in an approximate $1.7 million net loss. Many attacks of this nature are driven by international criminals. Importantly, no personally identifiable information was compromised in the attack and no student education records were involved. Rather, a threat actor diverted several Automated Clearing House (ACH) electronic payments to multiple bank accounts that were not owned by a vendor of the District.
