Cyber Crooks Target Public & Private Schools
- http://voices.washin...blic_priva.html
September 14, 2009; 8:00 AM ET - "A gang of organized cyber criminals that has stolen millions from businesses across the United States over the past month appears to have turned its sights on public schools and universities... Each of the transfers was kept just below $10,000 to avoid banks' anti-money laundering reporting requirements, and went out to at least 17 different accomplices or "money mules" that the attackers had hired via work-at-home job scams... With the help of the victims interviewed in this story, Security Fix was able to track down mules who said they were involved in each of the scams. All said they had been recruited via e-mail to sign up as "financial agents" at a company called Focus Group Inc. According to a write-up* by money mule site tracker Bob Harrison, the Focus Group Web site may look legit, but is "just the latest of the numerous highly generic Russian scam websites that has been set up to form a front for a money laundering fraud job advertisement."
