CT city notifies hundreds that personal information could have been compromised in cyber attack

Officials are notifying more than 400 people that their personal information could have been compromised during a cyber attack that led to the city’s Board of Education being defrauded out of nearly $6 million last year.

The cyber attack in New Haven in June 2023 led to a management member for the board mistakenly paying $5.9 million to what was believed to be a school bus company contracted with the city, which turned out to be hackers who had mimicked the bus company through a fake email address.
