Hi-Line Supply contends that Community Bank, Inc. is responsible for the August 20, 2009 theft of $50,000 from its online bank accounts.
"Hi-Line president Gary Evans said the fraud began on Thursday, Aug. 20, about the same time the company processes its normal $25,000 payroll," writes Krebs on Security's Brian Krebs. "After Hi-Line submitted that batch of payments to its bank, the unknown intruders attempted two more transfers of nearly identical amounts on Friday and the following Monday, Aug. 24."
"Evans said the bank should have detected that something was amiss, and not just because of the unusual and repeated payroll batches," Krebs writes. "He said the crooks accessed his account from five different Internet addresses with locations that were nowhere near Texas, including from computers located more than 1,300 miles away, in Washington, D.C. and Maryland."
