Email Scam Netted $17m From Single Firm
"Fraudsters have made off with over $17m in what appears to be a targeted email attack, after managing to persuade a senior executive at commodities trader Scoular to wire the funds to a Chinese bank.
An FBI statement filed last month in the US District Court in Omaha claims that Scoular corporate controller Keith McMurtry was targeted by emails faked to appear to come from CEO Chuck Elsea, according to Omaha.com."
