LOL. I am cracking up. We are led by idiots.
Couldn’t possibly be the affirmative action squad.
I would guess there are several hospitals, airlines and police stations that quietly decided to go ahead and pay ransom when ‘something’ had all their data and would not release without a prompt payment in bitcoin. These examples are not ‘phising’, but there are many similarities in the total experience. Most goverment agencies have not yet caught up with protecting their data against unscrupulous, greedy and safely anonymous villains.
If the money is lost by a person in a position of trust or responsibility, not reported, then covered up, isn’t that called embezzlement?

Idiots work at the Fresno Bee as well:
That was NOT a phishing scam.
The City of Fresno, my name is Amelda Nusbaum.
I won the $423 million dollar Power Frisbee Lottery.

help them pay down their debt.

Please send $450,000 to cover all your vehicles before the
offer runs out in 37 minutes.
Fresno is pretty consistently run by Republicans.
Former mayor Brand was a “semi-conservative” (Fresno City Council is “non-partisan” when voting on the council seats/mayor)...Council member Arias is an “uber-lefty”. Fresno city council has been a dumpster fire for awhile now. New mayor Dyer is trying a cleanup but probably futile given the current partisan makeup of the city council.
Gov Gavin Newsom stole $1.4 billion in April 2020 to buy Chinese masks that never were delivered. It is his buy in to run for president just like Andrew Coumo stole $600 million for HUD when he ran it so he could run for NY governor.
I bet the Fresno theft was a inside job.
Didn’t know that there was more than one Bee.
