Minneapolis Public Schools was nearly conned out of $500K

Posted on February 10, 2023 by Dissent

Fox9 reports:

At the height of the pandemic, one of Minnesota’s largest school districts fell victim to cyber fraud and nearly lost half a million dollars in the process. The previously unreported crime targeted Minneapolis Public Schools in April 2020, when schools and administration offices were vacant due to COVID-19.
