It appears that hackers got access to the email account of the chief operating officer of New Haven’s public schools in late May.
Elicker said it appears hackers were monitoring emails between the chief operating officer of New Haven Public Schools, vendors and the city’s budget office, then impersonated the COO and several vendors and made requests for electronic transfers of money to fraudulent accounts.
In total, six fraudulent payments were made, Elicker said.
