Hmmm.... this sounds what happened to Bullit County in Louisville, Ky. Someone was logging into the county network and was able to get $416K wired out of the country. They just reported it about two months ago. Seems that some hacker group was able to access their system and used login and passwords of users within the system.
It is fixed, now, and they were able to recover a majority of the money. They think that one, or some, of the users were either surfing where they were not supposed to, or someone received some type of phishing email.
