A recent cyber attack on an auto body shop resulted in the theft of more than $200,000.
"The latest victim is Clarke Collision Center, an auto body shop in Hudson, Ohio," writes Krebs on Security's Brian Krebs. "According to Craig Kintz, owner of Kintz Tech, a local security consulting company that responded to the incident, on Feb. 23 an employee of the victim firm noticed something strange when she went to log in to the companys online bank accounts: The site said the banks system was down for maintenance."
"The page she was sent to even included a 1-800 number supposedly for the banks customer service line," Krebs writes. "Kintz said the woman called that number, but quickly found that it was not in service. When the employee looked up the real customer service number for the bank and called to complain about the suspicious activity, she learned that there had just been a large number of wires and money transfers out of the companys accounts to individuals in the United States and overseas, Kintz said."
